If 'X loves Y' is given, then 'Y loves X' is

ATrue

BFalse

CMay be true ✓ Correct

DNone of the above

Correct answer: (C) May be true

Explanation

From 'X loves Y' the claim 'Y loves X' may be true but need not be.

Loving is not a symmetric relation, so it can hold one way only.

X's loving Y leaves Y's feeling towards X entirely open.

Y might love X in return, or might not, and both are consistent with the data.

An inference that is possible but not guaranteed is only 'may be true'.
