The correct answer is:

B) 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

A set is a subset of itself. This is 1 subset.

Each individual letter can be taken as a subset; this gives us {A}, {B}, and {C}. This is 3 more subsets for 4 so far.

{A,B}, {A,C}, and {B,C} are also subsets. This makes 3 more, for a total of 7.

The total number of subsets of {A, B, C} is 8. It can be found by cubing 2 and the resulting answer will definitely be 8. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "c". I hope that this answer has come to your help.
