Solution

The given categorical syllogism states that animals are organic and plants are organic, therefore concluding that no plant is an animal. To identify which rule is violated, we need to analyze the structure of the syllogism.

The syllogism follows the form of the E-type categorical syllogism, which states that "no S is P." In this case, the conclusion "no plant is an animal" matches this form.

According to the rules of categorical syllogisms, Rule no. 7 is violated when the conclusion is negative (i.e., "no plant is an animal") but one or both of the premises are affirmative (i.e., "animals are organic" and "plants are organic").

Therefore, the correct answer is a. Rule no. 7 is violated.
