Answer 1

Let , p = she is singing

q = i may cry

then the statement is p-->q

 converse of this statement is q-->p  

if p then q converse is q-->p means if q then p

if i  cry then she is singing  which is option C .

Comments

Both B and C are correct because.. q-->p can also be written as ~p-->~q.
