Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user must analyze the given statements to determine the relationship between Tanya, Eric, and Cliff's ages.

Let's go through each statement one by one:

  1. Tanya is older than Eric. This statement implies that Tanya's age is greater than Eric's age.

  2. Cliff is older than Tanya. This statement suggests that Cliff's age is greater than Tanya's age.

  3. Eric is older than Cliff. This statement is contradictory to the first two statements. If Tanya is older than Eric, and Cliff is older than Tanya, it is impossible for Eric to be older than Cliff. Therefore, statement 3 is false.

Option A is incorrect because the third statement is false.

Option B is correct because the third statement is false.

Option C is incorrect because the third statement is not uncertain.

Option D is incorrect because the answer is option B, which is not "none."

Therefore, the answer is: B. false.
