Answer and explanation

Correct answer: {4,5,6,7}

The complement of A relative to U contains every element of U that is not in A. Removing 1, 2, and 3 from U gives Aᶜ={4,5,6,7,8}. This is also exactly U\A and the set described by {x∈U | x∉A}. Option A, {4,5,6,7}, omits 8, which belongs to U and is not in A; therefore it is not the complement.
