Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Gael's reaction is an example of allness, which occurs when we make broad, sweeping statements without taking into account specific examples or contexts. Gael's parents have allowed her to stay out late each weekend, indicating that they do allow her to do things, but Gael's reaction ignores this and paints her parents as always restricting her.
