Correct option is D
The statement commits the fallacy of begging the question (circular reasoning)because:
The claim"there is no theoretical principle that cannot be put into practice"is justified by redefining"theoretical principle"as something thatmustbe practical. This circularity avoids addressing whether such principles inherently exist.
Begging the question often leads to circular reasoning, where the premise assumes the conclusion.
The fallacy can often go unnoticed because the argument sounds plausible but doesn't provide any support for the conclusion.
It’s important to look for cases where an argument restates its assumption as its conclusion, rather than providing independent reasoning.
Common examples of begging the question include redefining concepts to fit a conclusion without offering evidence.
Slippery slope would involve a chain of events leading to an extreme result without sufficient evidence for such a chain.
Straw man involves misrepresenting someone else's argument to make it easier to attack.
Inappropriate authority is when an argument relies on an authority figure who is not an expert in the relevant area.
