The inverse of a conditional statement is "If a number is negative, then it has a negative cube root.”What is the contrapositive of the original conditional statement?

The inverse of “If P, then Q” is “If not P, then not Q.” The given inverse says that if a number is negative, then it has a negative cube root, so the original statement is: if a number is not negative, then it does not have a negative cube root. Its contrapositive reverses the statements and negates both: if a number has a negative cube root, then the number is negative. That is choice C.
