Shouldn't D be the correct answer? My thoughts are highlighted in the reply on the thread.

E is definitely wrong:

Consider the following:
A AND B are...
The negative of the above statement is:
A OR B are not...

A AND B are not... wrong - implies: A and B not together (but one of them may be)........wrong meaning.

OA has been changed to D (after rectifying the pronoun issue).

sayantanc2k , I think you might have missed the BOTH in (E).

Both A and B are not =
A is not convened
AND
B is not concerned.

The use of pronouns in D is not correct. We avoid nether/nor when we need to use a plural pronoun. We use BOTH...AND.

Option E then becomes the only correct answer.

broall , you are correct.
vishumangal and
PrajwalGupta , I hope that helps.

E is the correct answer.
