Answer
A
the inverse and the contrapositive of the original conditional statement
B
the original conditional statement and its contrapositive
C
the original conditional statement and its inverse
D
the converse and the inverse of the original conditional statement
E
the converse and the contrapositive of the original conditional statement

Explanation

For a conditional p → q, the contrapositive is ¬q → ¬p, which is logically equivalent to the original statement, so choice B is correct. The converse is q → p, and the inverse is ¬p → ¬q; these are logically equivalent to each other, so choice D is also correct.
