A
They cease to exist.
💡 Explanation:
The grandfather paradox is a logical paradox that arises from the possibility of time travel. It states that if a time traveler goes back in time and kills their own grandfather before they have children, then the time traveler would never have been born. This creates a logical contradiction, as the time traveler cannot exist if their grandfather is dead.
