Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The Argument from Consequences, or also known as Appeal to Consequences, is an argument in literature that states a hypothetical situation or belief that should be either true or false depending on whether the premise of the sentence leads to desirable or undesirable consequences.

Therefore that the sentence in ''D'' is the correct one stating that: If ''P'' happens, then ''Q'' will occur: If mansa musa had never converted to islam(''P''), mali would have never become wealthy(''Q'').
