Answer the following questions.
Determine whether the statement below is true or false. Justify the answer. If (x) is a Markov chain, then X₁+1 must depend only on the transition matrix and xn- Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement is false because x, depends on X₁+1 and the transition matrix. B. The statement is true because it is part of the definition of a Markov chain. C. The statement is false because X₁ +1 can also depend on X-1 D. The statement is false because X₁ + 1 can also depend on any previous entry in the chain.
