    Answer: C. Logical evidence in the form of generalizations.

    Explanation:

    The Prince is 1532 treatise written by Niccolò Machiavelli.

    In Chapter 17, Machiavelli argues that it is better to be feared than loved, because people will not obey if they are not frightened. As he writes: "Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed, they are yours entirely ... " He is speaking about men in general, describing all the people as ungrateful, cowardly, etc. This is an example of generalization, a phenomenon of applying a broad statement to all the people.
