Read the excerpt below from the article "Security Cameras: Tools for Safer Cities or Weapons of Evil Empires?" by Simon Donnelly. "Some people do not appreciate these high-tech efforts to keep us safe. Instead, they focus on exaggerated fears of a surveillance state in which the government watches everyone all the time."

What is the best explanation of the logical fallacy in this excerpt?
A) Donnelly is using general statements about surveillance that cannot be verified or supported by facts.
B) Donnelly is drawing conclusions about surveillance cameras that aren't based on logical causes.
C) He is not addressing the real issue of how to protect people's privacy because he is bringing up other unrelated issues.
D) He is using an ad hominem fallacy to attack his opponents rather than presenting reasons for his claim.
