    Circular reasoning. You can't say someone's a good cellist because they play the cello well.

    C.) Circular reasoning: An argument that supports a claim with the claim itself

    Explanation:

    With circular reasoning, a person merely rephrases the conclusion, without proving anything.

    You can't prove someone is a 'remarkable' cellist by saying the person is a 'marvelous' musician or 'splendid' performer.

    The words 'remarkable', 'marvelous' and 'splendid' are synonyms.

    If we could say that Grayson has won many contests as a cellist and performs with best orchestras of the world, that would definitely support the claim that 'Grayson stands out as a remarkable cellist.'

    The way the sentence is written is a logical fallacy called 'circular reasoning'.
