Final answer:

The statement that must be true is X is divisible by B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that must be true is B. X is divisible by B.

Since X is a multiple of A and A is always divisible by B, it follows that X is also divisible by B. This is because if A is divisible by B, any multiple of A (including X) will also be divisible by B.
