Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

In classical Aristotelian logic, a standard categorical syllogism is a three-proposition deductive argument consisting of a Major Premise (A, containing the major term), a Minor Premise (B, containing the minor term), and a Conclusion (C, linking the minor and major terms). Modern symbolic notation (D) and empirical truthfulness (E, as opposed to formal validity) are not structural parts of the Aristotelian syllogism. Therefore, A, B and C only is the correct answer.
