started by pouring diesel fuel on a vinyl floor, a distinctive pattern is left
behind.

of the following conclusions MUST be true?
a. | If a chemical accelerant is not used to start
a fire, some trace of a chemical accelerant is left behind. | b. | Some trace of the chemical accelerant is left
behind if a chemical accelerant is used to start a fire. | c. | If a fire on a vinyl floor is not started
with diesel fuel, a distinctive pattern is not left behind. | d. | A distinctive pattern is not left behind if a
