C. given any A there is one and only one X which will satisfy the equation.

D. some values of A (such as A=0) will allow more than one X to satisfy the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of the determinant is not equal to zero then the number of the solution depends on the rank of the augmented matrix (M), the rank of matrix A and the number of unknowns. Thus, the number of solutions of the matrix can be infinitely many solutions, a single solution or no solution.
