Statement (c) is the false one: a biconditional p↔qp\leftrightarrow q is a tautology only for specially related (logically equivalent) statements, not for arbitrary p,qp,q.

  1. (a) A contradiction is, by definition, a statement whose truth table's final column is all F — this is a correct/true statement.
  2. (b) The double-negation law ∼(∼p)≡p\sim(\sim p)\equiv p is a standard tautological equivalence — this is a correct/true statement.
  3. (d) A tautology is, by definition, a statement whose truth table's final column is all T — this is a correct/true statement. …
