Answer
Option D, "Anyone who is a fan of Major League Baseball will hate modern art," is a clear example of a non sequitur. This statement presents a conclusion that does not logically follow from the premise. Enjoying Major League Baseball does not necessarily mean one will hate modern art, making the conclusion illogical and disconnected from the premise.
