For compound propositions (disjunctive and hypothetical) , must their components always be categorical propositions?

A) Yes, because the component propositions are not being asserted.
B) Yes, and to be more precise, they must always be universal.
C) Yes, and to be more precise, they must always be particular.
D) No, because the component propositions can themselves be disjunctive or hypothetical.
E) No, because the component propositions are not being asserted.

Compound Propositions

Statements formed by combining two or more propositions with logical connectives, such as "and," "or," "if...then."

Categorical Propositions

Statements in logic that relate two categories or classes of things in an affirmative or negative manner.

Disjunctive

Pertaining to a logical relation that holds between two statements if at least one of them is true, most commonly represented by the "or" connective.
