Explanation:

Faulty logic or 'flaw in reasoning' is demonstrated as the use of illogical, obscure, or invalid claims in an arguments that leads to influence the efficacy of the sentence. This may turn the argument deceptive and affect the credibility of the claim and the author as well. However, such flaws or errors are deliberately committed by the authors to emphasize a particular point or it is mere a mistake due to lack of attention or ignorance.

In the given question, option D exemplifies a faulty logic as the reason 'because I'm now going to be on a reality show' reflects that error or flaw in logic that functions to invalidate or disprove the previous meaning/claim of the sentence too. This makes the meaning deceptive and irrational to the readers . Thus, option D is the correct answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
