Answer #1

Correct answer is Option (D)

Explanation:

The operators precedence of   is

which means , where "logical and" is greater than "logical or" greater than "implication"

So first we evaluate r and s, then we calculate q or (r and s) and atlast we calculates p implies (q or (r and s))

So the answer is
