If A ∪ B = A, which relation between A and B is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B ⊆ A
The union A ∪ B contains every element from both A and B. If this union is exactly A, then adding the elements of B contributes nothing new; every element of B must already be in A. Therefore, B ⊆ A. The other relations are not necessarily true, so option B is the unique correct answer.
