Riddle

Choose an answer

A.Truth
B.Riddle
C.Paradox
D.Lie
Hint: It's a word with 3 letters, starting with "L".

Answer

Lie

Why this is the answer

This is the classic liar's paradox; the riddle's given resolution treats the statement itself as a lie, though logically the sentence is self-contradictory.
