Answer:
Choice A. The shading in the Venn Diagram shown in the first attachment represents the set [tex](K \cup M) \; \cap \; (K \cup L)[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]A[/tex], [tex]B[/tex], and [tex]C[/tex] be sets. By the distributive law of sets, [tex]A \cup (B \cap C)[/tex] and [tex](A \cup B) \cap (A \cup C)[/tex] refer to the same set.
Apply this property to simplify the given expression:
[tex]\begin{aligned}(K \cup M) \; \cap\; (K \cap L) = K\cup (M \cap L)\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]M \cap L[/tex] refers to the intersection between the two lower circles. The union of that intersection with set [tex]K[/tex] (the upper circle) would be the shaded region seen in choice A.
