Hint:

In Nyaya Darshana, the five logical steps of inference do not include B and C, which are used in reasoning but not considered formal components of Panchaavayava.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

According to Nyaya Darshana, Panchaavayava includes five elements:
- Pratijna (D), which is a statement or assertion.
- Udaharan (A), which is counted as an example.
- Vyaptismaran (C) is not counted as one of the Panchaavayava.
Anumiti (B) and Vyaptismaran (C) are counted among the five logical steps, as they are often used as part of reasoning but are not considered one of the Panchaavayava.
