Correct answer: (A) Bounded but not totally bounded.
Explanation
The distance between distinct subsets is 1, since their characteristic functions differ somewhere. Thus the metric is discrete and this family of singleton subsets has diameter 1, so it is bounded. A ball of radius less than 1 contains only one family member. Infinitely many such balls are needed to cover the family, so it is not totally bounded. Select A.
