Answer:


D;\text{ \textbraceleft2,3,4,5\textbraceright}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to select the member of the set that makes the inequality true

We simply substitute the values in the set

When x is 1

3(1) + 1 = 4

This is not greater then 4 and as such, it cannot be a soution

However, as x is greater than 1, the values hold

Thus, we have the correct options as:

{2,3,4,5}
