Explanation:

The statement "If we allow students to use their smartphones, pretty soon they'll forget to take notes with paper and eventually education will be meaningless" is a slippery - slope fallacy. A slippery - slope fallacy occurs when a relatively minor first step is suggested to lead to a more significant and usually negative final step through a chain of intermediate steps. Here, allowing smartphone use is assumed to lead to the downfall of education in a series of proposed steps without sufficient evidence for such a progression.

Answer:

A. Slippery slope
