Would i be right?

If events A and B are mutually exclusive events, each with non-zero
probability, then which of the following is true:
a. P(A ∩ B) = P(A) + P(B)
b. P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
c. P(A) – 1 = P(B)
d. P(A) = P(B)
e. P(A ∩ B) = P(A)*P(B)
 
I would say B because events are mutually exclusive if the occurrence of one event excludes the occurrence of the others. Mutually exclusive events can't happen at the same time.
