During a debate, a politician states, 'My opponent argues for higher taxes, but he's a millionaire who clearly doesn't understand the struggles of ordinary people.' Which logical fallacy is this an example of?

A Red Herring
B Ad Hominem
C Slippery Slope
D False Dichotomy

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

An Ad Hominem fallacy attacks the character, motive, or other attribute of an opponent rather than the substance of their argument. The politician attacks the opponent's wealth instead of their tax policy.
