(D) Let $p$ be the statement: "$x$ and $y$ are integers such that $x y$ is odd".Let $q$ be the statement: "both $x$ and $y$ are odd".The given statement is $p \rightarrow q$.The contrapositive of $p \rightarrow q$ is $\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$.Here,$\sim q$ is "it is not the case that both $x$ and $y$ are odd",which means "$x$ and $y$ are not both odd".$\sim p$ is "$x y$ is not odd".Therefore,the contrapositive is "If $x$ and $y$ are not both odd,then $x y$ is not odd".Thus,option $D$ is correct.

The contrapositive of "If $x$ and $y$ are integers such that $x y$ is odd,then both $x$ and $y$ are odd" is
