Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(R\) is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((1,1), (2,2), (3,3) \in R\). \(R\) is reflexive. \((1,2) \in R\) but \((2,1) \notin R\). \(R\) is not symmetric. \((1,2) \in R\) and \((2,3) \in R\) but \((1,3) \notin R\). \(R\) is not transitive. \(R\) is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.
