Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
If S \(\subset\) T \(\subset\) W,
S \(\cap\) T \(\cap\) W = S is true since S \(\cap\) T = S and S \(\cap\) W = S.
S \(\cup\) T \(\cup\) W = W is also true. S \(\cup\) T = T and T \(\cup\) W = W.
However, to say that T \(\cap\) W = S is not very true mathematically. Instead, it is safe to say S \(\subset\) (T \(\cap\) W).
