Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A = ∅

Every integral power of 2 is positive: for any integer n, 2ⁿ > 0, including negative exponents such as 2⁻¹ = 1/2. Therefore no power of 2 can satisfy x < 0. Since the set contains no element, it is the empty set, written as ∅. The negative numbers listed in option B are not powers of positive 2.
