Q: Select the wrong statement(s) about types of hetvābhāsa (fallacious middle) in Nyaya:

(A) Savyabhicāra hetu is irregular, because the hetu is present in cases where the sādhya is absent;
(B) Satpratipakṣa hetu faces an equally strong counter-reason leading to the opposite conclusion;
(C) Bādhita hetu is a reason that is contradicted by stronger evidence (e.g., perception), so it cannot establish the sādhya;
(D) Asādhāraṇa hetu is common to many instances and therefore ideal for inference;
(E) In UGC NET, examples may mix different types of hetvābhāsa and ask which label fits best;
