AContrary
BContradictory
CSub-alternation
DSub-contrary ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Sub-contrary
Explanation
Two particulars with the same subject and predicate differing in quality stand in sub-contrary opposition.
These are the I and O propositions.
They share quantity, both being particular, but oppose in quality.
Sub-contraries cannot both be false, though both may be true.
This same-quantity, opposite-quality pair of particulars is the sub-contrary relation.
