- CReflexive
- DEquivalence

Detailed Solution & Explanation
Let's analyze the properties of :
1. **Reflexive**: Since , the relation is reflexive. This corresponds to Option C.
2. **Symmetric**: For the relation to be symmetric, since , we must have . But . Thus, the relation is not symmetric.
3. **Transitive**: For the relation to be transitive, since and , we must have . But . Thus, the relation is not transitive.
Since the relation is not symmetric and not transitive, it cannot be an equivalence relation.
Therefore, the relation is only reflexive.
*Note: The relation is reflexive, which corresponds to Option C. The textbook answer key incorrectly lists Option D (Equivalence) as the correct choice.*
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
