Detailed Solution & Explanation

The range of a function f:AB\displaystyle f: A \to B is the set of all image values of the elements of the domain A\displaystyle A under f\displaystyle f.

Given:
Domain A={1,2,3,4}\displaystyle A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\}
Function formula: f(x)=x2\displaystyle f(x) = x^2

We compute the image for each element in the domain:
f(1)=12=1f(1) = 1^2 = 1
f(2)=22=4f(2) = 2^2 = 4
f(3)=32=9f(3) = 3^2 = 9
f(4)=42=16f(4) = 4^2 = 16

The set of these image values is:
Range(f)={1,4,9,16}\text{Range}(f) = \{1, 4, 9, 16\}

Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
