Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Circular reasoning involves making a conclusion based on a premise that is essentially the same as the conclusion. In this case, Tracey's reasoning that Aaron drinks too much because he is an alcoholic is circular, as the premise (being an alcoholic) and the conclusion (drinks too much) are essentially the same.
