We are getting it as Contingency ie it can be either True or False at the same time but not both ie it can not be multivalued.

Hence option D will be the right answer.

A TRUTH value of a proposition is always a single value.

It cannot be multivalued i.e. it cannot have multiple values, it can be either true or false but not both but here we are getting that sometimes it can give false and sometimes true.

Therefore it's TRUTH value cannot be determined.

Option D (Satisfiable/Contigency)

Option B is incorrect as Multi-valued propositions have multiple values simultaneously. (They're not in the GATE syllabus, I think.)
