Final answer:

Option (B), The statement regarding a biconditional potentially being a contradiction is false because a biconditional is true when both components are either both true or both false and does not always result in a contradiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "A biconditional that has a contingency on the left and another contingency on the right might be a contradiction." is false. A biconditional, expressed as "P if and only if Q" (P <=> Q), is true when both P and Q are true or when both are false. A contradiction is a statement that is always false, which is not the case with a biconditional involving contingencies.

A contingency is a statement that can be either true or false depending on circumstances. Therefore, the nature of contingencies does not guarantee that the biconditional is a contradiction since there are scenarios where the statement could be true.
