It is raining and you do not take your umbrella.

If it is raining, you do not take your umbrella.

It is not raining and you take your umbrella.

It is not raining and you do not take your umbrella.

The given statement is: 

**"If it is raining, you take your umbrella."**

This is a conditional statement of the form "If P, then Q" (P → Q), where:
- P: "It is raining"
- Q: "You take your umbrella"

The negation of a conditional statement "If P, then Q" is logically equivalent to "P and not Q" (P ∧ ¬Q), which means that "It is raining, and you do not take your umbrella."

Thus, the correct negation is:

**"It is raining and you do not take your umbrella."**

The correct answer is:
**It is raining and you do not take your umbrella.**
