Not understanding how "C" is Correct

Hello, I was left between "C" and "E" as my final two answers after crossing out A, B, and D.

Hi @Branden,

Thanks for the question! So this is a main point question. There are a lot of problems with (E). It is a conditional statement, and the conclusion isn’t a conditional statement. Also, even if it were, (E) is a mistaken reversal of the argument.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
