If A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, which subset is a proper subset of A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {1, 2, 3}
A proper subset contains only elements of the original set and is not equal to the original set. The set {1, 2, 3} contains elements that all belong to A, but it omits 4, so it is smaller than A. Option A is equal to A, while options C and D contain elements not in A. Therefore B is correct.
