Which one of the following well formed formulae is a tautology?

  1. A.

    ∀x ∃y R(x,y) ↔ ∃y ∀x R(x,y)\forall x \, \exists y \, R(x,y) \, \leftrightarrow \, \exists y \, \forall x \, R(x, y)

  2. B.

    (∀x [∃y R(x,y) → S(x,y)]) → ∀x ∃y S(x,y)( \forall x \, [\exists y \, R(x,y) \, \rightarrow \, S(x, y)]) \, \rightarrow \, \forall x \, \exists y \, S(x, y)

  3. C.

    [∀x ∃y (P(x,y) → R(x,y))] ↔[∀x ∃y(¬P(x,y) ∨R(x,y))][ \forall x \, \exists y \, \left( P(x,y) \, \rightarrow \, R(x, y) \right)] \, \leftrightarrow [ \forall x \, \exists y \left(\neg P(x, y) \, \lor R(x, y) \right)]

  4. D.

    ∀x ∀y P(x,y) → ∀x ∀y P(y,x)\forall x \, \forall y \, P(x,y) \, \rightarrow \, \forall x \, \forall y \, P(y, x)
