C. Elect me as mayor because I have the most money.

Explanation:

A non sequitur fallacy occurs when the conclusion of an argument is illogical because it does not follow from the preceding premises.

In this case, electing a mayor because he is the person that has the most money is not logical, since it is not factually correct that the person with the most money makes the best major, or even, that should be the one who is elected major.
