Solution

The answer is d)1. The contradiction is between Assertion A: "All birds can fly" and Assertion B and C which state that "Penguins and Ostriches are flightless birds". These two assertions contradict the first assertion that all birds can fly. Therefore, there is one explicit contradiction in the knowledge base.
