The correct option is C
R is not anti-symmetric
Step 1
Anti symmetric: If (x,y) in R where xy, then y,xR
From the symmetric condition
a lives within one kilometer from b
i.e., (a,b)R
b lives within one kilometer from a
i.e., (b,a)R
Since (a,b)R and (b,a)R holds when ab.
Step 2
Thus, the anti-symmetric does not hold.
Hence, option is the final answer (c).
