Which option is the correct set-builder form of K = {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}?
The governing concept is set-builder representation: state the common property of the elements and impose bounds that include exactly the listed values. Every element of K is a multiple of 4, and the multiples of 4 from 4 through 20 are 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20. Because both inequalities are inclusive, option A generates precisely K. Option B would give the factors of 20, including 1, 2, 5, and 10, which are not all in K. Option C concerns even digits, not all bounded multiples of 4, and option D describes numbers below 4, which excludes every member of K. Thus only option A has both the correct property and correct limits.
