Which of the following is NOT a type of deductive argument?

A) an argument based on mathematics
B) an argument from definition
C) an argument by elimination
D) These are all types of deductive arguments.

Each of these is a type of deductive argument. An argument by elimination proceeds by eliminating possibilities and concluding that the last remaining possibility must be true. Arguments from definition and arguments from mathematics are distinguished by the content of their premises. Arguments by definition rely on definitions as premises, while arguments from mathematics depend on mathematical calculations.
