The question you asked needs to find a flawed pattern in the correct answer choice the same as the flawed pattern used in the passage.  So both the passage and the correct answer choice use the same flawed pattern.

Passage: If punish, then obligation.  Therefore, if not punish, then no obligation.  If A; then B. Therefore, if NOT A; then NOT B.

B) If B-day, then balloons.  Therefore, if no balloons, then no B-day.  If A; then B.  Therefore, If NOT B, then NOT A.

B) in fact is NOT flawed.  And B) is certainly not the correct answer.
