Let R be a relation on a collection of sets defined as follows,
R = {(A,B) | A ⊆ B}

4) R Is Reflexive But Not Transitive.
PLEASE MARK ME AS A BRAINLIEST ❤
The correct statement is: R is reflexive and transitive.
The explanation is as follows:
Reflexive: A relation R on a set S is reflexive if for every element x in S, (x,x) is in R. In this case, for any set A, A ⊆ A is always true, so R is reflexive.
Symmetric: A relation R on a set S is symmetric if for every pair of elements (x,y) in S, (y,x) is also in R. In this case, if A ⊆ B, it does not necessarily mean that B ⊆ A, so R is not symmetric.
Antisymmetric: A relation R on a set S is antisymmetric if for every distinct pair of elements (x,y) in S, if (x,y) is in R then (y,x) is not in R. In this case, if A ⊆ B and B ⊆ A, then A = B, so R is antisymmetric.
Transitive: A relation R on a set S is transitive if for every three elements x, y, and z in S if (x,y) is in R and (y,z) is in R, then (x,z) is in R. In this case, if A ⊆ B and B ⊆ C, then A ⊆ C, so R is transitive.
Therefore, R is reflexive and transitive, but not symmetric or antisymmetric.
