Answer:

The statement is using the law of syllogism, and it is valid

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = you drive a car without an adult

b = you are at least 16 years old

c = you should remember your mom's birthday

Statements 1 and 2 are the premises, and they can be wrttiten as:

1) If a, then b

2) If b, then c

Statement 3 is the conclusion, and can be interpreted as:

3) If a, then c.

This is according to the law of syllogism which states that:

If a, then b

If b, then c

Then we can conclude that:

If a, then c

Since these statements obey the law of syllogism, the conclusion is valid
