A.Concurrent means occurring at the same time and consecutive means occurring one after the other✓ Correct
B.Concurrent means occurring non-simultaneously and consecutive means occurring one after the other
C.Concurrent means occurring at the same time and consecutive means occurring thereafter
D.Concurrent means occurring thereafter and consecutive means occurring at the same time
Explanation
'Concurrent' means happening at the same time, as in concurrent prison sentences served simultaneously. 'Consecutive' means following one after another in unbroken order, as in three consecutive wins. Option (a) correctly captures this distinction; option (c) is close but 'occurring thereafter' is vaguer than 'one after the other'.
