In Formal Logic "If" identifies:

  1. Sufficient Condition

  2. Necessary Condition

  3. Sufficient and Necessary Condition

  4. Conditional Statement

The correct answer is: Sufficient Condition

In formal logic, the word "if" is used to identify the sufficient condition. This means that when we have a conditional statement of the form "If P then Q," P is the sufficient condition for Q. In other words, if P is true, Q must also be true. This is why in formal logic, "If" identifies the sufficient condition. As for the other options: - B. Necessary Condition: The necessary condition is identified by the word "only if" or "necessary for." - C. Sufficient and Necessary Condition: This option is a combination of both the sufficient and necessary conditions, but the specific term "if" in formal logic identifies the sufficient condition only. - D. Conditional Statement: This is a general term for a logical statement that uses the word "if... then."
