C is the answer i think.

Justice Santana · Answer 2

Your answer would be D. If it is not a citrus fruit, then it is not an orange. The reason why is because there are multiple citrus fruit. A does not make sense because they just told you that an orange is a citrus fruit so that statement is invalid. B and C does not make sense because it's not always a true statement because of the multiple citrus fruit situation I explained earlier.
