Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) an equivalence relation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(A = \{1, 2, 3\}\) and \(R = \{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)\}\). A relation \(R\) is reflexive if \((a, a) \in R\) for all \(a \in A\). Since \((1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) \in R\), the relation is reflexive. A relation \(R\) is symmetric if \((a, b) \in R \implies (b, a) \in R\). For…
