Answer

The sentence that uses fallacious reasoning is **D. "If we do not include all voters… in no time at all we will be a plutocracy, and ordinary people will lose their rights." (sentence 11)**This sentence presents a slippery slope fallacy. It argues that if we don't enact mandatory voting, we will inevitably and quickly become a plutocracy where ordinary people lose their rights. This overstates the likely consequences and doesn't provide evidence for the series of events that would lead to such an extreme outcome. While low voter turnout *could* contribute to the influence of wealth in politics, the sentence presents it as an automatic and rapid descent into plutocracy, which is a logical fallacy.
