 Solution

The given logical implication is false exactly when $A=B$ and $C\ne D$. For every literal on $A,B,C,D$, there is such a false Boolean valuation making that literal true. For a prescribed value of $A$ or $B$, give the other the same value and choose $C\ne D$. For a prescribed value of $C$ or $D$, give the other the opposite value and choose $A=B$.

Consequently no literal implies the whole propositional formula: there is no one-literal implicant. If an equivalent disjunctive normal form contained a one-literal conjunction term $\ell$, then every Boolean valuation satisfying $\ell$ would satisfy that disjunctive normal form, contradicting its equivalence to the given propositional formula. This proves the claim. Even if auxiliary Boolean variables are allowed in the equivalent expression, a one-literal term on one of them fails too: fix any false Boolean valuation of the original four and set the auxiliary literal true. The word “conjunct” here refers to a conjunction term in the disjunctive normal form, not a factor in a conjunctive normal form.
