Which of the following is an infinite set?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {x : x ∈ N, x is even}
An infinite set has endlessly many elements and no final element. The even natural numbers continue as 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and so on, without an upper bound, so option C is infinite. Option A is bounded, option B contains only integers from -5 to 5, and option D has exactly twelve months; all three are finite.
