Dustin says that 8 ⋅ - 1 = 8 is a counterexample that shows that the following conditional statement is false. Is Dustin correct? Explain.



If two integers are multiplied, then the product is greater than both integers.



a.

Dustin is not correct because 8 is greater than - 1 but is not greater than 8.

b.

Dustin is not correct because - 1 is not an integer.

c.

Dustin is not correct because the conditional statement must be accepted as true.

d.

Dustin is not correct because he used a false equation as a counterexample.
