Option 4 : (a) and (d)

Logic is concerned with the laws of truth. Logic will therefore be those things that can be true or false. A proposition is the basic building block of logic. It is defined as a declarative sentence that is either True or False.

Truth is the attribute of a proposition that asserts what reality is the case.
It seeks to discover laws governing the relationships between the truth or the falsity of different propositions.

Hence, we can conclude that Truth and falsity are attributes of individual propositions.

On the other hand, a deductive argument is valid when it is successful. Its validity refers to the relation between its propositions- between the set of propositions that serve as the premises and the one proposition that serves as the conclusion of that argument. If the conclusion follows with logical necessity from the premises, we can say that the argument is valid.
Therefore, validity can never apply to a single proposition by itself, because the needed relation can not possibly be found without any proposition.

Hence, we can conclude that the Validity and invalidity are attributes of arguments.
