Answer:

B

Explanation:

If p and q are both true, then p→q is true.

If p is true, q is false, then p→q is false.

If p is false, q is true, then p→q is true.

If p and q are both false, then p→q is true.

So if you know that p→q and p are both true, then q must be true (because if q is false, then p→q must be false).
