Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {a, e}
The vowels in the English alphabet are A = {a, e, i, o, u}. Set B contains {a, b, c, d, e}. The intersection contains only letters present in both sets. The common letters are a and e; i, o, and u are vowels but do not belong to B. Therefore, A ∩ B = {a, e}, making option A correct.
