Answer: C
For the early Wittgenstein, the truth value of a molecular proposition is determined by simple propositions.
In the Tractatus, every complex (molecular) proposition is a truth-function of elementary propositions. Its truth or falsity depends entirely on the truth values of the elementary propositions it is built from, as truth tables show; for example 'p and q' is true only when both p and q are true.
Correspondence with facts is how an elementary proposition gets its truth value, by picturing a state of affairs, not how a molecular one does. A network of objects is what a state of affairs consists of, and syntactical form alone does not fix truth except in the limiting cases of tautology and contradiction.
