  3. C symmetric and transitive but not reflexive
  4. D reflexive and transitive but not symmetric
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) an equivalence relation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For reflexive \((x, x) \in \mathbb{R}, x \in \mathbb{Z}\) \(\Rightarrow x+x=2 x \rightarrow \text { even }\) For symmetric of \((x, y) \in \mathbb{R}\) then \((y, x) \in \mathbb{R}\) when \(x, y \in \mathbb{Z}\) \(x+y \rightarrow\) even…
