Answer:

Correct choice is D

Explanation:

A conditional statement, symbolized by
p\Rightarrow q, is an if-then statement in which p is a hypothesis and q is a conclusion.

Given statement: "Stars have ten vertices", consider statements:

p="A figure is a star",

q="A figure has 10 vertices".

Then the conditional statement
p\Rightarrow q sounds as "If a figure is a star, then it has ten vertices."
