No, that's why a and b contain superflouous information. The question does not ask "Which give information, all of which you must consider, on a foul tip." If says "Which answers are correct."

A car is speeding if it is exceeding the speed limit and it is red.

Is that a correct statement?

As I said above, this is a classic umpire exam poorly written question. You have to guess what the question really is asking, instead of simply what it did ask.
