The true statement about the standard form of a linear equation is:

C. At least one of the coefficients "a" or "b" must be non-zero.

In the standard form of a linear equation, ax + by = c, it is necessary for at least one of the coefficients "a" or "b" to be non-zero. This ensures that the equation represents a non-trivial linear relationship between the variables x and y.

The other statements, A, B, and D, are not true about the standard form of a linear equation:

A. The coefficients of the variables do not have to...
