Ad hominem means “against the man,” and this type of fallacy is sometimes called name calling or the personal attack fallacy. This type of fallacy occurs when someone attacks the person instead of attacking his or her argument.

So, the correct option is D

The fallacy is the calling or naming the person or attacking his character and thus it's in the lieu of the issue. Hence option D is correct.

What is a fallacy?
