The correct answer is:

d. Neither A nor B entails the other.

Entailment refers to a situation where the truth of one statement necessarily implies the truth of another. In this case, statement A (Maxine had a baby) does not necessarily imply statement B (Maxine is married), as a woman can have a baby without being married. Similarly, statement B does not necessarily imply statement A, as being married does not guarantee that a woman has had a baby.

Since neither statement logically entails the other, the correct answer is d.
