Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A syllogism is made up of two premises (statements) followed by a conclusion, so option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because the syllogism does not contain an answer, but rather a conclusion. Option C is incorrect because the term "judgment" is too broad and not specific to the structure of a syllogism. Option D is incorrect because "transformations" is not a term typically used in syllogistic logic.
