Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

A subset simply refers to a set whose elements are all members of a larger set.

Going by the definition :

The set of people born in the U.S is a subset of the set of people who are U. S citizens because citizenship in the U. S is not only attained by birth.

The set of Java students are all members of the set containing students studying a programming language, hence, The set of students studying Java is a subset of the set of students studying a programming language because Java is just one of the many different types of programming languages

{FISH_IN_OCEAN} is a subset of of the set of animals living in Ocean because not only fishes live in the ocean, fish is just one of the diverse marine animals that exist.
