How can the statement be rewritten as a conditional statement in if-then form? The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is less than the value of the original two-digit number.

A conditional statement has an “if” part (the hypothesis) and a “then” part (the conclusion). Here, the hypothesis is that a number has two digits, and the conclusion is that its digits’ sum is less than the number’s value. Choice C states exactly that relationship.
