The inverse of a conditional statement flips the hypothesis with the conclusion and negates both. So, the inverse of "If I get a speeding ticket, my parents do not pay for my insurance" would be "If I do not get a speeding ticket, my parents pay for my insurance." Choice C matches this statement. The inverse of the conditional statement switches the hypothesis and conclusion and negates both. Therefore, the inverse of "If I get a speeding ticket, my parents do not pay for my insurance" is "If I do not get a speeding ticket, my parents pay for my insurance."
