If A ∪ B = A, which relation is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B ⊆ A
The union A ∪ B contains every element of A together with every element of B. If this union is exactly A, adding B has introduced no new element. Therefore every element of B must already belong to A, which means B ⊆ A. The other statements do not necessarily follow from the given equality.
