DBoth true and false

Correct answer: (A) True

In sub-alternation, if the universal is true, the particular is true.

The particular follows from the universal as its subaltern.

If all S are P, then certainly some S are P.

Truth flows downward from universal to particular.

This downward transmission of truth is the rule of sub-alternation.
