Answer and explanation

Correct answer: {a, d}

The difference A − B keeps elements that are in A but not in B. Starting with A = {a, b, d}, remove b because b also belongs to B = {b, c}. The element c is not in A and therefore has no effect, while a and d remain. Thus A − B = {a, d}. The universal set U is only the surrounding reference set.
