SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on a question from an MIT OpenCourseWare video related to quantum mechanics, specifically regarding eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. The correct answer to the posed question is identified as option B, while option C is mistakenly considered valid by one participant. Upon further analysis, it is clarified that only two combinations of eigenfunctions are applicable, leading to the conclusion that option C is indeed incorrect. The discussion concludes with the acknowledgment of a misreading of the question by one participant.
