Which of the following statements is a tautology?
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
A tautology is a statement that is always true. We check each option by constructing truth tables. For option (D): . When is true, is always true (regardless of ), so the implication is true. When is false, the antecedent is false, making the implication vacuously true. Thus, option (D) is always true and is a tautology. Options (A), (B), and (C) can be shown to have at least one false entry in their truth tables.
