A. a square matrix

B. a scalar matrix

C. a diagonal matrix

D. an identity matrix

Which of the above statements are true?

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The matrix has equal diagonal entries (4) and zeros elsewhere. So it is square (A), scalar (B), and diagonal (C). It is not an identity matrix as the diagonal entries are not 1. So A, B, C are true.
