Correct option is D
Statement (d) is the correct answer. Given that "No monkeys are feline," this means there is a complete exclusion between the category of monkeys and the category of felines. Therefore, it can be inferred that "Some monkeys are not feline" because if no monkeys are felines, then it's also true that some of them (in fact, all) are not felines.
Information Booster:
The statement "No A are B" is a universal negative proposition.
It denies any overlap between the two categories (in this case, monkeys and felines).
Such propositions imply that at least some members of group A are not members of group B.
In categorical logic, "No A are B" is equivalent to saying "All A are not B."
This type of inference is part of the logic of syllogisms.
Additional Knowledge:
Option (a): This is an example of a particular affirmative proposition ("Some A are B"). Since the original statement is a universal negative, this contradicts the given information.
Option (b): Another particular affirmative, implying a partial overlap between the two categories, which is again not supported by the original statement.
Option (c): A universal affirmative ("All B are A"), which completely contradicts the exclusion of the two categories as stated
