Conditional statement is a statement with a hypotesis and a conclusion:

If
\text{ \underline{ hypothesis } } p , then
\text{ \underline { conclusion } } q or mathematically
p\rightarrow q .

Converse statement of
p\rightarrow q is statement
q\rightarrow p .

If you negate (that means stick a "not" in front of) both the hypothesis and conclusion, you get the inverse:
\\eg p\rightarrow \\eg q.

Finally, if you negate everything and flip p and q (taking the inverse of the converse) then you get the contrapositive:
\\eg q\rightarrow \\eg p.

Then,

Answer: the correct choice is D (the inverse of the original conditional statement).
