The correct answer is:
$P(C \mid D) \geq P(C)$
$\mathrm{C} \cap \mathrm{D}=\mathrm{C} \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C} \cap \mathrm{D})=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C}) \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}\left(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{D}}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C} \cap \mathrm{D})}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{D})} \geq \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})$
