Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In this statement, Joan is loving Henry and at the same time, Henry is loving Joan. This can be written as L(j,h) and L(h,j), which can be symbolized as Ljh • Lhj in option B. Option A is incorrect as it implies that Joan (J) loves someone else (Ljj). Option C and D are unnecessarily complex and involve variables and quantifiers that are not required to symbolize this simple statement.
