Answer:

A. 6

Explanation:

The wording "set A and set B" means you're interested in elements that belong only to both. In your diagram, that is Region II. There are 6 elements that belong to A and B.

AB = 6

_____

Additional comment

"A and B" is also called the "intersection" of the two sets: A ∩ B.

The number you have chosen is the number in Regions I, II, and III. That is the set of elements that belong to A or B. You have identified the "union" of the two sets: A ∪ B. (It might also be represented as A+B.)
