The correct answer is: $\mathrm{p} \wedge \mathrm{q}$
We have $\sim \mathrm{p} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}$
Inverse of given statement is
$$
\sim(\sim \mathrm{p}) \rightarrow \sim \text { q i.e. } \mathrm{p} \rightarrow \sim \mathrm{q}
$$
Negation of inverse of given statement is $\sim(p \rightarrow \sim q)$
$$
\equiv \sim(\sim p \vee \sim q) \equiv p \wedge q
$$
