Let fsa and pda be two predicates such that fsa(x) means x is a finite state automaton, and pda(y) means that y is a pushdown automaton. Let equivalent be another predicate such that equivalent (a, b) means a and b are equivalent. Which of the following first order logic statements represents the following:

Each finite state automaton has an equivalent pushdown automaton.

  1. A.

    ∀x (fsa(x) ⇒ ∃y (pda(y) ∧ equivalent(x, y)))

  2. B.

    ¬∀y (∃x fsa(x) ⇒ pda(y) ∧ equivalent(x, y))

  3. C.

    ∀x∃y (fsa(x) ∧ pda(y) ∧ equivalent(x, y))

  4. D.

    ∀x∃y (fsa(y) ∧ pda(x) ∧ equivalent(x, y))
