Explanation
B (False) is correct because != and NOT are distinct operators with different purposes. != is a comparison operator that evaluates whether two values are not equal (e.g., 5 != 3 returns true), while NOT is a logical operator that inverts a boolean expression (e.g., NOT true returns false). Although both involve the concept of negation, they operate at different levels: != compares two operands, whereas NOT acts on a single boolean value or condition. Distractor A is wrong because treating them as interchangeable would produce incorrect results - NOT 5 and 5 != something are entirely different operations.
Memory tip: Think of != as "are these two things different?" and NOT as "flip this one thing." Two operands vs. one operand - different jobs, different operators.
