The correct answer is: $\mathrm{p} \wedge(\mathrm{q} \wedge \mathrm{r})$
(A)
$\begin{array}{l}
\sim[\sim p \vee(q \rightarrow \sim r)] \\
\equiv p \wedge \sim(q \rightarrow \sim r) \\
\equiv p \wedge \sim(\sim q \vee \sim r) \\
\equiv p \wedge \sim[\sim(q \wedge r)] \\
\equiv p \wedge(q \wedge r)
\end{array}$
