Answer: B
According to Ryle, a category mistake is avoided by identifying the difference in logical form of expressions.
In The Concept of Mind Ryle argues that a category mistake presents facts of one logical type as if they belonged to another, as when a visitor, shown the colleges and libraries, asks where the University is. Expressions with the same grammatical form can differ in logical type, so the way to avoid the mistake is to attend to that difference in logical form.
Differences in linguistic form are exactly what can mislead, and the error is not one of meaning or of breaking syntactic rules, since the misleading sentences are grammatically correct.
