What type of fallacy is this?


Person A: Are you sure that X is safe?

Person B: How can you ask me that?! Do you think that I would ever put you in danger?

I see two main fallacies here: The Fallacy of Diversion and the Appeal to Righteous Indignation. Depending on the person and the discussion, you might find some of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

There’s no argument here and therefore no fallacy.
