1. Problem: Simplify the logical expression $\sim[p \to (p \wedge \sim q)]$.
2. Recall that $p \to q$ is equivalent to $\sim p \vee q$.
3. So, $p \to (p \wedge \sim q) = \sim p \vee (p \wedge \sim q)$.
4. Negate the entire expression:
$$\sim[p \to (p \wedge \sim q)] = \sim[\sim p \vee (p \wedge \sim q)] = p \wedge \sim(p \wedge \sim q)$$
5. Apply De Morgan's law:
$$p \wedge [\sim p \vee q]$$
6. Simplify:
$$ (p \wedge \sim p) \vee (p \wedge q) = \text{False} \vee (p \wedge q) = p \wedge q$$
7. Final answer: $p \wedge q$.
The correct choice is d) $p \wedge q$.
