"Sales dropped after the new manager arrived. The new manager is responsible." What logical flaw is this?

A Appeal to authority
B Post hoc ergo propter hoc (correlation ≠ causation)
C Ad hominem
D False equivalence

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

This is "post hoc" fallacy — assuming that because B followed A, A caused B. Other factors could explain the decline.
