Hi Roni,
Yes, this is a more general error that could be classed under the lack of evidence flaw, where a logical leap is made based on one or more assumptions that may or may not actually be true. In this particular case, the logic is even stranger as the only evidence present would point to the conclusion being false, but either way it's a leap of logic based on assumptions. Sometimes the correct answer choice will be phrased in general terms, other times they will be very specific to the stimulus, as it is here. Just make sure that you can correctly identify what the stimulus is doing wrong before diving into the answer choices, even if you can't put it in a firm category.
Hope this helps!
