Correct answer: C. Appeal to ignoranceअज्ञान का आश्रय (Appeal to ignorance)
Explanation
The argument concludes that a claim is false merely because it has not been proved true. Treating absence of proof as proof of absence is the fallacy of appeal to ignorance (argumentum ad ignorantiam). Begging the question assumes the conclusion, equivocation shifts the meaning of a term, and hasty generalisation argues from too few instances.यह तर्क केवल इसलिए किसी दावे को असत्य ठहराता है क्योंकि उसे सत्य सिद्ध नहीं किया गया है। प्रमाण के अभाव को अभाव का प्रमाण मान लेना अज्ञान का आश्रय (argumentum ad ignorantiam) नामक तर्कदोष है। प्रश्नभिक्षा में निष्कर्ष को ही मान लिया जाता है, अनेकार्थता में किसी पद का अर्थ बदल जाता है, और शीघ्रतापूर्ण सामान्यीकरण बहुत कम उदाहरणों से निष्कर्ष निकालता है।More Logical Reasoning questions
