SOLUTION

I believe the following explanation should help to answer

A consistent system is a system that has at least one solution.

If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent.

If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent.

But, If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent

Hence the answer is Inconsistent, option D
