Answer:

C: More than likely, all they are concerned with is their selfish desire for pure silence and 8:00 P.M. bedtimes.

Explanation:

 The line in option C uses the logical fallacy of ad hominem in which the speaker is accusing the neighbors of being only concerned with their selfish desire. This shows that the part that is complaining is not considering the motive, or trying to clarify the issue with arguments, only attaking the neighbors' reputation.
