The syllogistic form "All M are P" is in the form of A proposition, which means the middle term (M) is distributed in the premise. The conclusion must therefore also distribute the middle term. The only valid mood for this is AII, and since the middle term must be in the second premise, the figure is 3. Therefore, the answer is E, AII-3.
