Option : B
Explanation :
Inference occupies a central place in the Hindu school of logic (Nyaya). This school worked out a syllogism in the form of an argument that goes through five stages:
(1) the proposition (pratijna, literally "promise"),
(2) the ground (hetu),
(3) the illustration (udaharana),
(4) the application (upanaya), and
(5) the conclusion (nigamana).
A syllogism is vitiated by a fallacious ground or hetvabhasa ("the mere appearance of a ground").
Upamana (analogy) is one of the six main sources of knowledge in astiks system of Indian philosophy.
