### Boolean Expression Simplification

#### Diagram Explanation

The diagram shows a combination of logic gates with four inputs labeled A, B, C, and D leading to an output labeled Y. The configuration of these gates is as follows:

1. **Inputs:**
   - A connects to an OR gate.
   - B connects to both this OR gate and an AND gate.
   - C connects to the other input of the AND gate.
   - D connects directly to the final OR gate.

2. **Logic Gates:**
   - The first logic gate is an OR gate that takes A and B as inputs.
   - The second logic gate is an AND gate taking B and C as inputs.
   - The outputs of these two gates feed into another OR gate.
   - Input D connects directly to the output OR gate.

3. **Output:**
   - The final OR gate combines the outputs of the first OR gate, the AND gate, and input D to produce the output Y.

#### Task:

- **Write the Boolean Expression:** Formulate the Boolean expression based on the logic diagram.
- **Simplify the Boolean Expression:** Apply Boolean algebra rules to simplify the expression.

#### Steps:

a) **Y (Un-simplified)**
- Write the expression using OR, AND, and the given input variables.

b) **Y (Simplified)**
- Simplify the expression obtained in part (a) using Boolean algebra.

Use the space provided to write your answers for the unsimplified and simplified Boolean expressions.
