Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer includes all possible subsets of the set {fox, hen, sheep}, including the original set itself and the empty set. The number of subsets of a set with n elements is 2^n, so for a set with 3 elements, there should be 2^3 = 8 subsets, which are all listed in option D.
