Can you help me simplify the following Boolean expressions (in attached photo) to a minimum number of literals?

**Q3) Simplify the following Boolean expressions to a minimum number of literals:**

(a) \( xy + xy' \)

(b) \( (x + y)(x + y') \)

(c) \( xyz + x'y + xyz' \)

(d) \( (A + B)'(A' + B')' \)

(e) \( ABC + A'B + ABC' \)

(f) \( xy + x(wz + wz') \)

*Note: Each expression should be simplified by applying Boolean algebra rules such as identities, nullifications, domination, and absorption to achieve the simplest form.*
