A Correct answer
Explanation

In fuzzy set theory, the intersection operation uses the minimum (MIN) of the membership values from each set. This means an element belongs to the intersection only to the degree that it belongs to BOTH sets - the more restrictive condition. The union uses maximum, so (B) is incorrect for intersection. Average (C) and difference (D) are not standard fuzzy set operations.
