If a set of events includes all the possible outcomes of an experiment, it means that all of the outcomes are covered and there are no other possibilities. This is known as an exhaustive set of events. Option A, mutually exclusive, refers to events that cannot happen at the same time. Options C and D refer to events that have some overlap or common elements, which does not apply to an exhaustive set of events. Option E is not applicable as there is at least one correct answer.
