For an equivalence relation on a set A, the equivalence classes are:

Answer: Pairwise disjoint and their union is A.

  • A Always of equal size in every case
  • B Allowed to overlap partially
  • C Always exactly two in number
  • D Pairwise disjoint and their union is A

Correct answer: D. Pairwise disjoint and their union is A

Explanation: Equivalence classes partition the set: every element lies in exactly one class.

Concept context
