I don't really like the options it gives but, the slippery slope fallacy is when someone uses an event as an example and explains how it could lead to very unfortunate scenarios. For example, if we allow X to happen, X can lead to Y which can lead to Z. Then that means if X happens, it will cause Z. I would say the closest answer with the options given would be A.
