"lf my computations are correct and I pay the electric bill, then I will run out of money. If I don't pay the electric bill, the power will be turned off. Therefore, if I don't run out of money and the power is still on, then my computations are incorrect."

Convert this argument into logical notations using the variables c, b, r, p for propositions of computations, electric bills, out of money and the power respectively. (Where ¬ means NOT)

 (A) if (c∧b) → r and ¬b → ¬p, then (¬r∧p)→¬c

(B) if (c∨b) → r and ¬b → ¬p, then (r∧p)→c

(C) if (c∧b) → r and ¬p → ¬b, then (¬r∨p)→¬c

(D) if (c∨b) → r and ¬b → ¬p, then (¬r∧p)→¬c
