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 $B$.
