Im pretty sure it is A. Choice A represents a mix of an inverse and converse, which means contrapositive. Im not 100% sure however.

Answer: A. The contrapositive of the statement will be :
\sim y\Rightarrow\sim x

Explanation:

The contrapositive of an if-then statement "p then q' is given by :

"If not q then not p".

The given statement is
x\Rightarrow y

Then the contrapositive of the statement will be :


\sim y\Rightarrow\sim x, \text{where}\sim\text{ means

Hence, A is the right option.
