Solution

The rank of a matrix is always less than or equal to the smaller of the number of rows and columns of the matrix. This is because the rank of a matrix is defined as the maximum number of linearly independent rows or columns in the matrix. Therefore, it cannot exceed the total number of rows or columns. The rank of a matrix has nothing to do with the maximum or minimum elements in the matrix or the sum of the elements in the matrix. So, the correct answer is d. The smaller of the number of rows and columns of the matrix.
