c. No Solution… since matrix AB is a 3x3 matrix and

matrix C is a 4x3 matrix (they do not have the same
dimension), which is why they cannot be added.
d. No Solution… since both matrices B and C are 4x3
matrices (the number of columns of matrix B is not
equal to the number of rows of matrix C), which is
why they cannot be multiplied.
