Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A ⊆ B
The elements of A are 2 and 4. Both 2 and 4 are present in B, so every element of A belongs to B; therefore A ⊆ B. B is not a subset of A because 6 and 8 are absent from A. Also, 6 is a number rather than a set, and the set A itself is not listed as an element of B, so options C and D are incorrect.
