 The statement that is an example of a bandwagon fallacy is B. "Everyone loves that rock band, so it must be the greatest group ever." The bandwagon fallacy relies on the assumption that the opinion of the majority is always correct. Just because many people like something does not inherently mean it's the best or that it can be objectively qualified as being superior. The statement doesn't give an actual reason for the rock band being great, only that it is popular.
