Problem

The negation of the proposition "For all pairs of real numbers $a,b$, if $a=0$, then $ab=0$" is: There are real numbers $a,b$ such that

$\text{(A) } a\ne 0 \text{ and } ab\ne 0 \qquad \text{(B) } a\ne 0 \text{ and } ab=0  \qquad \text{(C) } a=0 \text{ and } ab\ne 0$

$\text{(D) } ab\ne 0 \text{ and } a\ne 0 \qquad \text{(E) } ab=0 \text{ and } a\ne 0$
