Which statement is correct for a finite set?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It has a fixed number of elements
A finite set has a limited, definite number of elements, so its elements can be counted and the counting ends at a fixed number. A finite set may contain no elements, one element, or many elements; therefore, it is not necessarily empty. The description of an endless collection belongs to an infinite set. Thus option C is correct.
