1) The union contains all members of A and B both of which are in V. It is a subspace.
2) The intersection contains all common members of A and B. By definition, both A and B have the {0} vector in common, at least, so the intersection always has at least one member. It is a subspace.
3) The complement of A is all members not in A that belong to V. It is a subspace.
