Is this a trick question?

You would think not.

It would seem that A or B would have to be correct, because if one is false, the other would have to be true. However, I like D.

I'm copying off mom. I choose D.

My guess is "B"--"May change."

It's "conceptual," after all, so "facts" are only what we think they are since we can never get an objective perspective by which to see real facts. Tomorrow we may see things differently and declare new "facts." ...am I right?

Darn those postmodernists.
