contrapositive is the negation of both the premise and the conclusion. in the other order
Let's take:
conditional statemet: all men are mortal (if one is a man, one is mortal)

the counterpositive is :

is one is not mortal, one is not a man - this statement is also true.

So, the correct answer is: its counterpositice is also true
