I agree, in this case.  But it could be c-true without their carrying them
individually (as in your example above), so it could be c-true and not d-true.

That has never been in dispute.

On the other hand,"the students wore
hats" is d-true but not c-true (on a normal reading)

What is the difference between wearing a hat and carrying a chair that
makes "the students carry chairs" c-true but "the students wear hats"
not c-true, when in both cases each student does?
