Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of subsets for a set with n elements is 2^n. Therefore, the number of subsets for this set is 2^5 which equals 32. Thus, option D is the best choice. The formula for finding the number of subsets a set has is 2^n, where n is the number of elements in the set. In this case, n=5, so the number of subsets is 2^5 = 32. Therefore, the best choice is (D).
