Correct option is D
The Savyabhicara (irregular middle) fallacy occurs when the middle term in a syllogism is used in an inconsistent or irregular manner, leading to contradictory or opposite conclusions. In this fallacy, the middle term is either improperly related to the major term or used in different senses, causing the argument to break down and lead to opposite conclusions.
Information Booster:
- The fallacy arises when the middle term in a syllogistic argument is not used consistently, leading to incorrect or conflicting conclusions.
- This fallacy often results in two conflicting or opposite conclusions because the reasoning is inconsistent.
- If one argument uses the middle term in one sense in one premise and a different sense in another premise, the argument may lead to opposite conclusions.
- This is an example of an invalid syllogism, where the structure of the argument does not maintain logical consistency between premises.
