Here's the Solution to this Question

Since rule of contraposition (P\to Q)\to(\neg Q\to\neg P) is valid, we have that \neg Q\to\neg P is valid if P\to Q is valid. And if \neg Q\to\neg P and \neg Q are valid, then \neg P is valid.

So we obtain that \neg Pis valid if P\to Q and \neg Q are valid.

Answer: C is valid in premises H1 and H2.
