An argument states: "Since implementing our new employee recognition program, company morale has significantly improved. Clearly, the program is solely responsible for this positive change." This statement most clearly exhibits which logical fallacy?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
The argument assumes that because morale improved *after* the program, the program *caused* the improvement, without considering other potential factors. This is a classic false cause fallacy.
