Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The correct symbolization of "Many A are B" in formal logic is represented by option C, which uses the existential quantifier (∃x) to indicate "there exists some x" and the conjunction (•) to express "x is A and x is B," capturing the idea that there is at least one x that is both A and B.
