I think so it will be right

Answer 2

By applying elementary transformations to a matrix its rank does not change. (Option C)

• Basic transformations are operations performed on matrices' rows and columns to modify their shape and make computations easier.
• When an elementary transformation is done to a matrix, its rank remains unchanged.
• The highest number of linearly independent matrix lines determines a matrix's rank; changing their order does not influence linear independence, hence changing the rank has no effect.
