Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

The negation of a statement has the opposite meaning of the original statement. The negation of a statement is formed by adding the word “not”.

Consider statement P again:

P: x is greater than 9.

The negation of P is:

∼P: x is not greater than 9.

Note that the symbol ∼ is used before a statement to show that it's a negation.
