Sum-of-minterms form is a . a. compact function notation that represents each literal by a number b. product term having exactly one literal for every function variable c. variable appearance in an expression in true or complemented form d. canonical form of a Boolean equation where the right-side expression is a sum-of-products

D. canonical form of a Boolean equation where the right-side expression is a sum-of-products

Explanation:

Sum-of-minterms form is refered to as the canonical form of a Boolean equation such that the right-side expression is the sum-of-products.

It should be noted that the minterms whose sum helps in defining the Boolean function will be the ones that give the 1's with regards to the functions in the truth table.
