Let C = {4,5}
Then A = {2,C,4}
They are all incorrect, and it should be clear why. What are your reasons?

If C={4,5} then {4,5} is treated as one element comprised of the separate elements 4 and 5 . Therefore, 5 itself is not an element of A . Thus, {5} cannot be an element of A. 5 is not a subset of A because it is a part of the pair of elements in C.
