ABased on the uniformity of co-existence
BKevalanvayi
CKevala-vyatireki
DAnvaya-vyatireki ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Anvaya-vyatireki
Explanation
When the middle links to the major both affirmatively and negatively, the inference is anvaya-vyatireki.
Anvaya establishes agreement in presence: where the reason is, the probandum is.
Vyatireka establishes agreement in absence: where the probandum is absent, the reason is absent.
Having both a positive and a negative concomitance defines this type.
A purely positive one is kevalanvayi and a purely negative one kevala-vyatireki.
