Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Option 0 (A, B, and C). Statement A is true because validity concerns logical form, not truth values;
thus, a valid argument can have false premises and a false conclusion.
Statement B is true because an argument is invalid if the conclusion does not logically follow from the premises, regardless of their truth.
Statement C is true as a sound argument must be valid with all true premises.
Statement D is false because the truth of premises is essential for soundness.
