In row 4 (the fourth period) of the periodic table, the chemical symbols and their corresponding element names are mostly straightforward. However, there are a couple of symbols that do not match intuitively with their element names. Here’s the list of elements in row 4 along with their symbols:

1. K - Potassium
2. Ca - Calcium
3. Sc - Scandium
4. Ti - Titanium
5. V - Vanadium
6. Cr - Chromium
7. Mn - Manganese
8. Fe - Iron (from the Latin "ferrum")
9. Co - Cobalt
10. Ni - Nickel
11. Cu - Copper (from the Latin "cuprum")
12. Zn - Zinc
13. Ga - Gallium
14. Ge - Germanium
15. As - Arsenic
16. Se - Selenium
17. Br - Bromine
18. Kr - Krypton

The symbols that do not match the current English names of the elements are:

- **Fe** for Iron (from Latin "ferrum")
- **Cu** for Copper (from Latin "cuprum")

These symbols are derived from Latin names rather than the English names of the elements.

It seems like you are asking to identify the sets of chemical symbols and whether they include symbols that do not match with their element names in row 4 of the periodic table. Based on the previous discussion, the symbols that differ from their corresponding element names (because they derive from Latin) are **Fe** for Iron and **Cu** for Copper.

Now, let’s analyze each of your sets:

1. **K, Mn, Kr**
- K - Potassium
- Mn - Manganese
- Kr - Krypton
- **None of these symbols differ from their element names.**

2. **K, Cr, Zn**
- K - Potassium
- Cr - Chromium
- Zn - Zinc
- **None of these symbols differ from their element names.**

3. **K, Fe, Cu**
- K - Potassium
- Fe - Iron (Latin "ferrum")
- Cu - Copper (Latin "cuprum")
- **Both Fe and Cu differ from their element names in English.**

4. **K, Ni, As**
- K - Potassium
- Ni - Nickel
- As - Arsenic
- **None of these symbols differ from their element names.**

The set that contains symbols not matching their element names is **K, Fe, Cu**.
