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.

Vyatireka establishes agreement in absence: where the probandum is absent, the reason is absent.

A purely positive one is kevalanvayi and a purely negative one kevala-vyatireki.
