The correct answer is:


All of the options are in a two-column proof.


Step-by-step explanation:


In a two-column proof, we start with a list of "given" statements. This is the series of statements we begin with in the proof.


Below this, we are given a "prove" statement; this is the statement we are to be working to prove throughout the proof.


We then write two columns; one is labeled "statements," in which we will use steps to get from the "given" to the "prove" statement.


The second column is labeled "reasons" or "justifications"; in this column we justify using theorems, definitions and postulates the statements we use in the proof.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is all of the options given. A formal 2-column proof contains the following components are statements, reasons, prove statement and given statement. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
