Question

a = a is an example of which algebraic property?

A. Symmetric Property

B. Transitive Property

C. Reflexive Property

D. Commutative Property of Multiplication

Answer 1

So we're talking about relations here, I guess the property is something that comes out of the definition. So we have a relation upon itself:
\[\Large \forall a \in A: aRa \]
where we have the relation of equality, thus:
\[\Large \forall a \in A: a=a \]
which is considered as reflexive.

Answer 2

It is the reflexive property because the reflexive property of equality says that anything is equal to itself.
