A particular affirmative (I) proposition distributes

ASubject only

BPredicate only

CBoth subject and predicate

DNeither subject nor predicate ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Neither subject nor predicate

Explanation

In "Some S are P" neither subject nor predicate is distributed.

"Some S" refers only to part of S, so the subject is undistributed.

The proposition affirms, and affirmatives never distribute the predicate.

Only a portion of P is claimed to overlap with S.

Hence the particular affirmative distributes no term at all.
