Answer:

a: euphenism

In this occasion, in order to find a way to avoid embarassment resulting from a lie,<em> he tries t</em><em>o minimize</em><em> what he had declared</em> before, so he employs an euphenism, by using and comparing the expressions "operatrive statement" and "inoperative" instead of acknowledging: <em>"I was wrong when said that."</em>
