Only the second statement is correct.
- Correct: "contains a table with a logical series of statements and reasons that reach a conclusion."
That is the definition of a two-column proof: one column lists statements (what you assert) and the other gives the reasons (definitions, axioms, theorems) that justify each statement.
- Not correct: "uses a visual representation of the logical flow of steps..."
That describes a flowchart (or visual) proof, not a two-column format.
- Not correct: "contains a set of sentences explaining the steps needed to reach a conclusion."
That describes a paragraph (or narrative) proof, which is written as connected sentences rather than a statements/reasons table.
- Correct: "contains a table with a logical series of statements and reasons that reach a conclusion."
