Show Answer

Answer: D

Explanation:

(A) Incorrect. The $b_{32}$ element of $B^T$ is not $4$.

(B) Incorrect. The $b_{32}$ element of $B^T$ is not $5$.

(C) Incorrect. The $b_{32}$ element of $B^T$ is not $7$.

(D) Correct. The $b_{32}$ element of $B^T$ is $8$ because $B^T$ is obtained by interchanging rows and columns of $B$.
