What among the following can be correctly claimed in the context of Anupasamhaari Hetvābhāsa?

Correct option is C

Anupasamhaari Hetvābhāsa is a specific type of fallacy in Indian logic. The key feature of Anupasamhaari Hetvābhāsa is that the minor term in the argument is used to represent all possible objects or an overly generalized group, which leads to a logical error in the argument.

In this fallacy, the minor term is extended to a broader context than it should be, which makes the conclusion incorrect. This is different from other forms of Hetvābhāsa, where reasoning involves contradictions or incorrect distribution of terms. The fallacy here arises because the minor term is applied to a category that it doesn't truly encompass.

In classical Indian logic, this fallacy is classified under Hetvābhāsa—a category that deals with errors in reasoning, specifically in syllogisms.

The minor term in this case is too general or overbroad, which misleads the argument's conclusion.

The Nyāya Sūtra is one of the primary texts that discusses Hetvābhāsa (fallacious reasoning) and defines various forms, including Anupasamhaari.​​
