Separability is free in all four settings

Which of the following statements are true?

  1. A.If K is the splitting field of a non-constant polynomial over , then K is Galois over .
  2. B.If K is a normal extension of , then K is Galois over .
  3. C.If K is the set of all the roots of the polynomial in an algebraic closure of 𝔽, then K is Galois over 𝔽, where 𝔽 is the field with 11 elements.
  4. D.If , where is a primitive 13th root of unity in , then K is Galois over .

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
