Answer:

Choice b.
q has to be false.

Explanation:

Consider the truth table of
p \implies q (
p implies
q).


  • p is true and
    q is true:
    p \implies q would be true.

  • p is true and
    q is false:
    p \implies q would be false.

  • p is false and
    q is true:
    p \implies q would be true.

  • p is false and
    q is false:
    p \implies q would also be true.

The only combination where
p \implies q is false is when
p is true and
q is false. Hence, the
q\! here must be false.
