Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
For equivalence: reflexive, symmetric, transitive.
A: Adding gives - reflexive, symmetric, transitive. Valid.
B: Adding - reflexive, symmetric ( both present), transitive (all required pairs exist). Valid.
C and D introduce pairs without their symmetric/transitive closures, so they fail.
Hence A and B only.
