According to classical Indian School of logical which fallacy is committed in the following statement “Fire is eternal because it is produced”?

A.

Virudda

B.

Sadharana

How does it occur?
The conclusion contradicts the premise

Examples
"Fire is eternal because it is produced"
"A pot is produced because it is eternal"
"Sound is eternal because it is produced"
