Correct answer: C. Begging the questionआत्माश्रय दोष (Begging the question)
Explanation
The premise ('intelligent people do not have arrogance') merely restates the conclusion ('people who lack arrogance are intelligent') in other words, so the argument assumes what it sets out to prove — begging the question (circular reasoning).आधार-वाक्य ('बुद्धिमान लोगों में अहंकार नहीं होता') केवल निष्कर्ष ('जिनमें अहंकार नहीं होता वे बुद्धिमान हैं') को दूसरे शब्दों में दोहराता है, अतः तर्क वही मान लेता है जिसे सिद्ध करना है — आत्माश्रय दोष (Begging the question) (चक्रीय तर्क)।More Logical Reasoning questions
