Option 4 : (A), (B), (C) and (D) only

Logic is the study of inference and argument. Logic has always fascinated humankind for its sheer scope of immense arguments and discussions.

Logic is an important concept of the Nyaya School of Indian Philosophy.
It is a way of drawing inferences from prior or existing knowledge.
In Sanskrit inference is known as ‘anumâna’. Anumâna is the second source of valid knowledge according to the Nyâya-Vaiúeika school.
Anumâna is a mediated indirect source of knowledge.
Inferences are made when a person (or machine) goes beyond available evidence to form a conclusion. With a deductive inference, this conclusion always follows the stated premises.

Thus the inference in Indian logic is inductive, deductive, and Valid In Nature. Also, It has to be materially true.

Hence (A), (B), (C) and (D) only are correct options.
