    Feedback time.

    On this problem

    /question/index?qid=20210...

    I don't see how a and d could be right, but b and c wrong. Did you notice that I did not answer in order "a b c d" ? Maybe you swapped b and c.

    you left no feedback, so I don't know if you have an issue with the working.

    And on this one

    /question/index?qid=20210...
