Answer: a.he is the best candidate for senior class president because he is better than the others.

Circular reasoning occurs when the premise the argument begins with is also its conclusion. This is a common logical fallacy. In this case, the reasoner is trying to explain why "he" is the best candidate, but the reason he gives is that "he" is the best candidate. Therefore, he is using the conclusion as the initial premise.
