Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Hinman (1998) actually argues for a middle course, or the "mean," in Aristotle's list of virtues. He suggests that the excess and deficiency are both vices, and the virtue lies in finding the middle ground between the two. Therefore, option C is not one of Hinman's arguments.
