Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
With proper inclusion, is never a proper subset of itself, so is not reflexive.
If then fails, so is not symmetric. But and force , so is transitive only.
Note: The relation is written with the symbol but defined as proper subset; we have used the proper-subset meaning stated in the question.
