Answer:

C-I can go to the concert.

Explanation:

The law of detachment states that if

"If p, then q." and "P." are true statements, then

"Q." is true.

In this case, p is "I can afford to buy a ticket" and q is "I can go to the concert."

We are told that "If p, then q." is true.

We are also told that p is true, "I can afford to buy a ticket."

This means q must be true, "I can go to the concert."
