Explanation:

The fallacy where the conclusion is smuggled in among the premises is known as "begging the question" (also called petitio principii). Let's analyze the other options:

• "Circular reasoning" is a type of begging the question, but the more precise term for this specific definition (conclusion in premises) is begging the question.
• "Appeal to authority" relies on an authority's opinion rather than evidence.
• "Equivocation" uses a word with multiple meanings unfairly.

So the correct option is the one labeled "begging the question".
