Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C)
\(\begin{array}{ll}\mathrm{p} \wedge(\mathrm{q} \vee \sim \mathrm{p}) & \\ \equiv(\mathrm{p} \wedge \mathrm{q}) \vee(\mathrm{p} \wedge \sim \mathrm{p}) & {[\text { Distributive law }]} \\ \equiv(\mathrm{p} \wedge \mathrm{q}) \vee \mathrm{F} & {[\text { complement law }]} \\ \equiv \mathrm{p} \wedge \mathrm{q} & {[\text { Identity law }]}\end{array}\)
