Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Statement A is false because the AAA-2 syllogism has affirmative premises, so it does not commit the fallacy of exclusive premises.
Statement B is false as EIO-3 (Ferison) is a valid syllogism that does not commit the fallacy of four terms.
Statement C is true because AAA-1 (Barbara) is a valid form that commits no fallacies.
Statement D is false due to the violation of rules regarding negative premises and affirmative conclusions.
Since only Statement C is true, the correct option is Option 3 ("C only").
