The operator space has square dimension

Let V be a vector space over . Let be two linear transformations such that and are linearly independent over . Consider the following statements: (A) The transformations and are linearly independent over There exist linear transformations such that {} is linearly independent over . Which of the following statements is true?

  1. A.(A) is true but (B) is false.
  2. B.(B) is true but (A) is false.
  3. C.Both (A) and (B) are true.
  4. D.Both (A) and (B) are false.

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.
