An argument states: 'Since all successful businesses prioritize customer satisfaction, and Company X is highly successful, Company X must prioritize customer satisfaction.' Which logical flaw is most evident in this reasoning?

A Ad hominem
B Slippery slope
C Begging the question
D Affirming the consequent

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

This argument commits the fallacy of affirming the consequent (If P then Q, Q therefore P). It assumes that because Company X possesses a characteristic common to successful businesses (Q), it must follow the premise (P) that defines success.
