Answer:

C. p ∨ q

Explanation:

The compound statement is of the form ...

p or q

where ...

p = Memorial day is in July

q = parallel lines intersect

The symbol ∨ is used to represent the disjunction (or).

The symbolic form of the given statement is ...

p ∨ q

__

As it happens, both p and q are false, which means the disjunction is false. That has no bearing on the symbolic representation of it.

_____

∧ represents conjunction (and).
