The statement that appears self-contradictory, but reveals a kind of truth is a paradox. The correct answer is option A. A paradox is a statement that often displays inconsistency, but when investigated, it appears that it may be proven correct or true. For example: As quoted from Robert Frost, "Men work together, whether they work together or apart".
