The correct answer is letter B

Originating in the Greek word "syllogismos", which means "conclusion" or "inference", a syllogism is a type of logical argument that applies deductive reasoning to extract a conclusion from two or more propositions, which are supposed to be true. In its oldest version, formulated by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, a syllogism is formed by three propositions: a general statement, which we call the major premise; followed by a specific statement proposition, which we call the minor premise; and a conclusion, or consequent, that is deduced from the two premises.
