Anvayavyatireki anumāna employs both positive and negative instances to establish vyāpti. For smoke and fire we observe places with smoke that have fire and places without fire that have no smoke. This dual pattern strengthens the connection and makes smoke a reliable sign of fire. The hill example is therefore the standard anvayavyatireki illustration in Nyāya logic.
Option A:
Option A matches the textbook case where both co presence and co absence of smoke and fire are used to ground the inference.
Option B:
Option B is the kevalānvayi example based only on positive knowable–nameable instances.
Option C:
Option C is a more abstract metaphysical case and is often discussed under kevalavyatireki rather than anvayavyatireki.
Option D:
Option D likewise belongs to a different pattern and is not the simple everyday example used to teach anvayavyatireki.
