Correct answer: C. Fallacy of Compositionसंयोजन का तर्कदोष (Fallacy of Composition)
Explanation
The argument transfers a property of each individual member (being mortal) to the whole class (the human race). Inferring the whole from its parts is the fallacy of composition; the reverse move would be the fallacy of division.यह तर्क प्रत्येक व्यक्ति के गुण (नश्वरता) को सम्पूर्ण वर्ग (मानव जाति) पर आरोपित कर देता है। भागों से समग्र के बारे में निष्कर्ष निकालना संयोजन का तर्कदोष है; इसके विपरीत क्रम को विभाजन का तर्कदोष कहते हैं।More Logical Reasoning questions
