Final answer:

If events A and B are disjoint, their complements Aᶜ and Bᶜ will also be disjoint.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for Aᶜ and Bᶜ to be disjoint, it means that there cannot be any common outcomes between the two sets. If A and B are disjoint events, then it logically follows that the complements of A and B will also be disjoint. This is because the complement of an event includes all outcomes that are not in the event, so if A and B have no common outcomes, their complements will also have no common outcomes.
