D. none of the above

Answer

To determine whether LXXV is greater than LXXIV, we will convert both Roman numerals into their numerical values and then compare them.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Roman Numerals**:
- The first Roman numeral is LXXV.
- The second Roman numeral is LXXIV.

2. **Convert LXXV to a Numerical Value**:
- L = 50
- X = 10 (there are two X's, so we have 10 + 10)
- V = 5
- Now, add these values together:
- 50 (L) + 10 (X) + 10 (X) + 5 (V) = 75
- Therefore, LXXV = 75.

3. **Convert LXXIV to a Numerical Value**:
- L = 50
- X = 10 (there are two X's, so we have 10 + 10)
- IV = 4 (which is 5 - 1)
- Now, add these values together:
- 50 (L) + 10 (X) + 10 (X) + 4 (IV) = 74
- Therefore, LXXIV = 74.

4. **Compare the Two Values**:
- Now we compare the two results:
- LXXV = 75
- LXXIV = 74
- Since 75 is greater than 74, we conclude that LXXV is indeed greater than LXXIV.

5. **Final Conclusion**:
- The statement "LXXV is greater than LXXIV" is **True**.
