The correct answer for Armando's problem is D) a paradox. Why? Well paradoxes present a statement, or situation, that, despite apparently sound reasoning from true premises, leads to a self-contradictory or a logically unacceptable conclusion. It may contain or involve contradictory yet interrelated elements that exist simultaneously and persist over time.
