Try out the possible answers and see which one(s) works:

Try a. 1






No, that's false.


Try b. 2





No, that's false.

Try c. 3






Yes, that's true.

Try d. 4





No, that's false.

Try e. 5






No, that's false.

Looks like c. 3 is the only one that works.

This demonstrates a trick for you to use when you are
taking a multiple choice test.  If you run into a 
problem that you don't know how to solve directly, 
try out all the possible choices.
