Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
In Nyāya logic, these terms correspond to specific steps in the syllogism. Vyāpti (C) refers to the invariable association of the middle term with the major term (IV). Pakṣadharmatā (D) is the relation of the middle term in the minor term (II). Parāmarśa (B) is the knowledge combining Pakṣadharmatā and Vyāpti (I). Upanaya (A) applies this universal concomitance to the present case (III). Thus, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
