Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The statement uses loaded terminology by using derogatory language to describe the protesters, suggesting that they are not a legitimate or organized group with valid concerns about globalization. It dismisses their arguments without engaging with them, and instead labels them in a negative and dismissive way.
