Answer
a. No, because $j$ is an element of $B$ that is not in $A$.
b. Yes, because every element of $C$ is an element of $C$.
c. Yes, because every element of $C$ also appears in $A$.
d. Yes, because every element of $C$ also appears in $C$, but there are elements of $A$ that do not appear in $C$.
Work Step by Step
Note that every set is an improper subset of itself. A subset of $X$ is a set $Y$ such that every element in $Y$ appears in $X$. $Y$ is an improper subset of $X$ if $X$ is simultaneously a subset of $Y$. $Y$ is a proper subset of $X$ if $X$ is not a subset of $Y$.
