5. Which of the following sets of 2 x 2 matrices are vector spaces? (Here and are the usual addition and scalar multiplication of matrices: (i) {all matrices [a b; c d] such that a + b = 3c - d.} (ii) {all 2 x 2 matrices A such that Ax = 0 has a nontrivial solution.} (iii) {all 2 x 2 matrices A such that Ax = [1; 2] is consistent.} A. (i) and (ii) B. (ii) only C. (ii) and (iii) D. (i) only E. All of them are vector spaces.
