Which of the following expresses negation?

• A. None of the above
• B. A denial
• C. A negative statement
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Negation means denying or contradicting something. It shows up when we use words like not, no, or none, or when a statement expresses that something is untrue. None of the above directly denies the set of options. A denial is literally the act of saying something isn’t true. A negative statement is a sentence that claims that something is not the case. Since each of these is a form of negation, the option that encompasses all of them captures negation in every form listed. So the best answer is All of the above.
