Answer:Choice A
{vanilla, strawberries, sprinkles}
============================================
Explanation:
The universal set is
U = {vanilla, chocolate, hot fudge, strawberries, sprinkles, peanuts, whipped cream}
which represents all of the possible choices for flavors and toppings
Set C is given to be
C = {chocolate, hot fudge, peanuts, whipped cream}
The set C' is the complement of set C. It is the complete opposite of set C. Whatever is in C will not be in C', and vice versa.
What I would do is start with the universal set
U = {vanilla, chocolate, hot fudge, strawberries, sprinkles, peanuts, whipped cream}
then cross out everything you find in set C. So we'll cross off chocolate, hot fudge, peanuts, whipped cream
{vanilla, chocolate, hot fudge, strawberries, sprinkles, peanuts, whipped cream}
What we're left with is
{vanilla, strawberries, sprinkles}
which is the set C'
Effectively you can think of it as two friends such that their choices are polar opposites of one another. Friend #1 picks a dish that is chocolate covered in hot fudge, peanuts and whipped cream. This is represented by set C. On the other side of the spectrum, friend #2 goes with vanilla ice cream with strawberries and sprinkles as toppings. This is represented by set C'.
