C. If you don’t eat, then you don’t feel hungry.

The contrapositive to a statement is the inverse of the converse (or the converse of the inverse) of the statement. If ##p## and ##q## are conditions, then

##p=##You feel hungry. ##q=##You eat.

Adding the symbol ##~## contradicts the condition.

Therefore,

##~p=##You don’t feel hungry. ##~q=##You don’t eat.

So, using these symbols, the original conditional statement would be expressed as

##p=>q##

Meaning that the inverse of the statement would be expressed as

##~p=>~q##

Because the inverse of a statement is contradicting both conditions.

To find the contrapositive of the original statement, we need to find the converse of the inverse, so

##~q=>~p##

Because the converse of a statement is making the hypothesis of the original statement (##p##) the new conclusion and the original conclusion (##q##) the new hypothesis. In other words, the two conditions switch order.

Now that we have clarified that ##~q=>~p## Is the contrapositive of the statement, we can put it into words.

(##~q##) If you don’t eat, (##~p##) then you don’t feel hungry.
