Correct choice: "A postulate is assumed to be true, and it does not have to be proven."
Brief corrections:
- A theorem must be proven (it is not assumed).
- A definition explains the meaning of a term; it is not something to be proven.
- A conjecture is an unproven statement believed to be true (based on observation), not a definition.
