Correct answer: B. Fallacy of Compositionसंग्रह/संरचना का तर्कदोष (Fallacy of Composition)
Explanation
The argument wrongly transfers a property of the parts (stars and planets are spherical) to the whole (the universe). Reasoning from parts to whole in this way is the fallacy of composition.यह तर्क भागों के गुण (तारे और ग्रह गोलाकार हैं) को गलत ढंग से संपूर्ण (ब्रह्मांड) पर आरोपित करता है। भागों से संपूर्ण के बारे में इस प्रकार निष्कर्ष निकालना संग्रह का तर्कदोष (Fallacy of Composition) है।More Logical Reasoning questions
