Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

not (a > b)

Only option C evaluates to True. Option C: not (5 > 10) = not False = True. Option D: a == b or False = 5 == 10 or False = False or False = False. Options A and B are also False.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • a > b and b < 0

    Why it's wrong here

    a > b is False and b < 0 is False, so False and False = False.

  • not (a < b)

    Why it's wrong here

    a < b is True, so not True = False.

  • not (a > b)

    Why this is correct

    not (a > b) = not (5 > 10) = not False = True

  • a == b or False

    Why it's wrong here

    a == b or False = False or False = False
