According to Classical Indian School of Logic (Nyaya) which of the following argument involves the fallacy of Sadharana (middle term being too wide)?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Sadharana is the type of savyabhichara fallacy where the middle term is too wide, being present in both similar and dissimilar instances. Knowability belongs to fiery and non-fiery things alike, so The hill has fire because it is knowable proves nothing. Being audible is too narrow and being produced proves the opposite of eternality.
