Final answer:

The original conditional statement denoted as p → q is represented in converse as q → p. This means the hypothesis and conclusion are switched in the converse statement. The provided options do not correctly represent the converse using proper notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an original conditional statement is represented using p → q, the converse of this statement would be q → p. This means that the hypothesis and the conclusion are switched in the converse. None of the options a) pq, b) qp, c) q´p, or d) p´q accurately represent the converse, as these expressions suggest multiplication or the representation of the converse in a different notation. The correct notation should clearly denote the implication from q to p.
