Correct Answer

Option cTransitive

All Options:

  • AReflexive
  • BSymmetric
  • CTransitive
  • DAsymmetric

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let us recall the definitions of different types of relations on a set A\displaystyle A: - **Reflexive**: A relation R\displaystyle R is reflexive if aRa\displaystyle aRa for all aA\displaystyle a \in A. - **Symmetric**: A relation R\displaystyle R is symmetric if aRb    bRa\displaystyle aRb \implies bRa for all a,bA\displaystyle a, b \in A. - **Transitive**: A relation R\displaystyle R is transitive if aRb\displaystyle aRb and bRc    aRc\displaystyle bRc \implies aRc for all a,b,cA\displaystyle a, b, c \in A. - **Asymmetric**: A relation R\displaystyle R is asymmetric if aRb    not bRa\displaystyle aRb \implies \text{not } bRa.
The given condition is: "If for all a, b, c, aRb and bRc gives that aRc, then the relation is". This is exactly the definition of a transitive relation.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
