"Truth-functionally true", or "tautology" to use the usual term.

((C -> D) & (D -> E)) & C) & -E

"Truth-functionally false", or "contradictory" to use the usual term.

"Truth-functionally indeterminate", or "contingent" to use the usual
term.

(B -> H) & (B -> -H)
0 1 0 0 0 1 10

term.

Still no evidence that you've tried these for yourself.
