Correct answer: (A) Immediate inference — Passing directly from one proposition to a conclusion is immediate inference, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Passing directly from one proposition to a conclusion is immediate inference, so that is the answer.
★It uses just one premise, with no middle term required.
★Conversion and obversion are typical examples.
★Mediate inference, by contrast, needs two premises linked by a middle term.
★So a one-premise inference is immediate inference.
★So the answer is immediate inference.
