Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: Vyapti/व्याप्ति Definition: Vyapti (व्याप्ति) is universal concomitance — the invariable and universal relation between the hetu (reason) and the sadhya (that which is to be proved). Example: Wherever there is smoke (hetu), there is fire (sadhya). This constant connection between smoke and fire is vyapti. Hetu (हेतु): The reason or middle term used in inference (e.g., smoke).
