Answer 2

Option B - if an item receives a 20% discount

Explanation:

A conditional statement is in the form of p q, where p is a hypothesis and q is a conclusion and is denoted in an if-then statement form. Like if p then q.

Given statement is:

A regularly priced item at a store receives a 20% discount. This is the conclusion part.

We have to find the hypothesis part.

If an item receives a 20% discount - then a regularly priced item at a store receives a 20% discount.
