Let U= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, A={2,4,6,8} B={1,2,3,4}, C={5,6,9}

The symbol that looks like an inverted U means interception. The interception of B and C is given by al the elements that B and C share. In order to find it we simply need to writte B and C and find the numbers that are part of both:
[tex]\begin{gathered} B=\mleft\lbrace1,2,3,4\mright\rbrace \\ C=\mleft\lbrace5,6,9\mright\rbrace \end{gathered}[/tex]As you can see there is no nuber that belongs simultaneously to both B and C. This means that the intersection between B and C is an empty set and is represented with the following symbol:
[tex]\varnothing[/tex]So D is the correct option.
