An argument states: 'Since the introduction of daily meditation sessions, employee productivity at Company X has increased significantly. Therefore, daily meditation directly causes increased productivity.' What type of logical fallacy is most clearly demonstrated here?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
The argument assumes that because one event (meditation) preceded another (increased productivity), the first event *caused* the second. This is the definition of the post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy, or false cause.
