​What among the following exemplifies extension of a term that is empty?​

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) God because the term "God" in certain philosophical or logical contexts can be considered as an empty term, meaning it has no actual referent or extension in the real world for some individuals or systems of thought. Extension refers to the set of all objects to which a term applies. When a term’s extension is empty, it means that no real-world object or entity corresponds to that term.

In contrast, terms like "Pen," "Book," and "Bag" have tangible objects in the real world that they refer to, so their extensions are not empty—they denote actual items. The term "God," especially in some philosophical or atheistic perspectives, does not correspond to any empirical entity and is thus considered to have an empty extension in those contexts.

Information Booster:

1. Extension of a term refers to the collection of all entities to which the term correctly applies.

2. An empty extension means the term does not apply to any existing object in reality.

3. Terms like "Pen," "Book," and "Bag" have concrete, existing referents, so their extensions are non-empty.

4. Abstract or metaphysical terms such as "God" may have empty extensions if no object fits the definition.

5. Empty terms are important in logic and semantics for understanding reference and meaning.

6. The distinction between extension (actual referents) and intension (conceptual meaning) is key in semantics.
