If $A$ and $B$ are square matrices of the same order,then which of the following properties holds true for the transpose of their product?

The trace of the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 7 & 9 \\ 11 & 8 & 9 \end{bmatrix}$ is defined only for square matrices. If we consider the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -5 & 7 \\ 0 & 7 & 9 \\ 11 & 8 & 9 \end{bmatrix}$,what is its trace?

In a skew-symmetric matrix,the diagonal elements are all

If $A$ is a square matrix,then $A + A^T$ is:

If $A$ is a $3 \times 3$ order skew-symmetric matrix,then $|A|$ is equal to:

Let $X$ and $Y$ be two arbitrary,$3 \times 3$,non-zero,skew-symmetric matrices and $Z$ be an arbitrary $3 \times 3$,non-zero,symmetric matrix. Then which of the following matrices is (are) skew-symmetric?
$(A) Y^3 Z^4 - Z^4 Y^3$
$(B) X^{44} + Y^{44}$
$(C) X^4 Z^3 - Z^3 X^4$
$(D) X^{23} + Y^{23}$
