Answer: d) b║d is not true

Explanation:

I love visual aids for questions like these so please see the attachment.

Based on the diagram, we can see that:

a ⊥ e (a)

a║ c (b)

a ║ d (c)

However, b ∦ d, but is instead b ⊥ d.

If we reread the question, we will realize that since b ⊥ c and c ║ d, the it implies that b must be ⊥ to d.
