Concept:A logical equivalence can be selected only when the actual condition, truth table, or circuit that defines
y is provided.
Explanation:The four options represent different Boolean functions of
x,
y, and
z.
Option A states that
y is equivalent to
(¬x∨z).
Option B states that
y is equivalent to
(¬x∨¬z).
Option C states that
y is equivalent to
(¬x∧¬z).
Option D states that
y is equivalent to
(¬x∧z).
These expressions are not logically equivalent to one another, so each one gives a different set of truth values for
y.
Since the question gives no original statement, truth table, or circuit connecting
x,
y, and
z, there is no valid basis for selecting any single option.
Thus, none of the listed equivalences can be confirmed as the correct one.
Answer:Cannot be determined from the given information.
