Dear student,

Your reference link always show wrong answer as this question.

Given answer option(d) is the correct answer.

Detailed:

A sweeping statement is a broad generalization. Sometimes in involves hyperbole.

"process foods are the cause of American obesity" would be a sweeping statement. It implies that Americans as a group are obese, and that process foods is the primary cause of said obesity. While the statement has elements of truth, it is a broad generalization and there are many exceptions and counter examples that can be made if someone wanted to pick the statement apart.

Hope you got it.
