Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Option 2 (Only A and C).
Statement A is correct: Pakshadharmata refers to the presence of the middle term (Hetu) in the minor term (Paksha).
Statement B is incorrect: Knowledge established by Vyapti in inference is called Anumiti, not Upamiti.
Statement C is correct: Indian logic traditionally integrates deduction and induction rather than separating them strictly.
Therefore, the combination of A and C is accurate.
