Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Key idea: to compute the AND of two functions given in minterm form, take the intersection of their minterm sets.

  • f1 minterms: {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

  • f2 minterms: {1, 6, 8, 15}

  • Intersection (f1 AND f2): {6, 8} → therefore f1·f2 = Σ m(6,8)

Conclusion: The product f1 AND f2 corresponds to the minterms Σ m(6,8).
