What is the meaning of false dilemma?

Answer
A
presenting only two options when more are possible
B
distorting an opposing viewpoint in an extreme way
C
assuming that two things are alike in more ways than they are
D
giving a statement that is illogically connected to a previous idea

Explanation

A false dilemma presents a situation as if there are only two choices, even though other options may be possible. For example, saying “You’re either with us or against us” ignores other positions. So the correct choice is “presenting only two options when more are possible.”
