Consider the decision problem 2CNFSAT defined as follows:

{ $$\Phi $$ | $$\Phi $$ is a satisfiable propositional formula in CNF with at most two literal per clause}

For example, $$\Phi = \left( {{x_1} \vee {x_2}} \right) \wedge \left( {{x_1} \vee {{\overline x }_3}} \right) \wedge \left( {{x_2} \vee {x_4}} \right)$$ is a Boolean formula and it is in 2CNFSAT.

The decision problem 2CNFSAT is

A
NP-Complete.
B
Solvable in polynomial time by reduction to directed graph reachability.
C
Solvable in constant time since any input instance is satisfiable.
D
NP-Hard, but not NP-complete.
