Question

if a then b is the form of a ____ statement.
a. conditional
b. false
c. true
d. deductive

Explanation:

In logic, a statement of the form "If A then B" is defined as a conditional statement. Option B (false) and C (true) refer to truth values, not the type of statement. Option D (deductive) refers to a reasoning method, not the form of the statement. So the correct answer is A as it matches the definition of a conditional statement.

Answer:

A. conditional
