What is the right answer?

That's cute.
Depending on the question...
I make it
E
Assume A is true, then B is false, so contradiction.
Therefore C must be false, hence B is also False.
That means D is false, so E is true, making F false.
Unless the question is "Which statement leads to a contradiction?"
Or if the question is "Which of the following statements is/are false?"

I agree with Noke Lieu's answer.
But I don't think the question is as illegible as ThudanBlunder claims...
