Explain why the columns of an nxn matrix A are linearly independent when A is invertible. Choose the correct answer below. O A. If A is invertible, then the equation Ax = 0 has the unique solution x = 0. Since Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution, the columns of A must be linearly independent O B. IfA is invertible, then for all x there is ab such that Ax = b. Since x = 0 is a solution of Ax = 0, the columns of A must linearly independent. O C. If A is invertible, then A has an inverse matrix A1. Since AA-1 =A-'A, A must have linearly independent columns. O D. If A is invertible, then A has an inverse matrix A-1. Since AA-1 =I, A must have linearly independent columns.
