A1 and 2
B2 and 3
C1 and 3
D1, 2 and 3 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1, 2 and 3 — All three statements are true, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★All three statements are true, so that is the answer.
★Vyapti is the invariable concomitance between the hetu (mark) and the sadhya (probandum).
★It is captured through their co-presence and co-absence.
★This invariable relation of middle and major term grounds the Nyaya inference.
★So each statement correctly describes vyapti.
★So the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
