Correct Answer

D

Explanation

To find the elements in set Q, we can use the information given that P ∪ Q = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.Since P = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, we can subtract the elements of P from the union of P and Q to find the elements in Q.Q = (P ∪ Q) - PQ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} - {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}Q = {6, 7}Therefore, the elements in set Q are 6 and 7.
