According to Nyaya (Classical Indian School of Logic), which of the following arguments involves the fallacy of Anupasamhari (non-exclusive middle term) ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Anupasamhari is the fallacy of a non-exclusive or unlimited middle term, where the subject covers everything so that no example outside it can be cited. Saying all things are non-eternal because they are knowable leaves no sapaksa or vipaksa outside the subject, so the required concomitance can never be established.
