This argument is an instance of Disjunctive Syllogism (DS). DS involves a disjunction (A ∨ B), and the negation of one of the disjuncts (~A or ~B), to conclude the other disjunct (B or A, respectively). Here, the argument starts with a disjunction (N ∨ C) and negates one of the disjuncts (~N), leading to the conclusion of the other disjunct (C).
