Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The proposition "All cats are Carnivores" is a universal affirmative (A-type). Its logical contradiction must be the particular negative (O-type): "Some cats are not Carnivores". Contradictions require opposite truth values in all cases, whereas contraries (like "No cats are Carnivores") can both be false.
