If the proposition Some frogs are not mammals is given as false, then which of the following propositions can be immediately inferred to be false?

ASome frogs are mammals
BAll non-frogs are mammals
CNo frogs are mammals ✓ Correct
DAll frogs are mammals
Correct answer: (C) No frogs are mammals
Explanation

No frogs are mammals must be false when the O proposition is false.

Some frogs are not mammals is the O statement declared false.

The contradictory of O is the universal affirmative A, which is therefore true.

A true A, All frogs are mammals, has as its contrary the E form, which must be false.

So No frogs are mammals is the statement inferred false.
