A = \{}1, 2, 3, 4\}

R = \{(1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 1), (4,4), (1, 3), (3, 3), (3, 2)\}

For every  a \in A  there is  (a,a) \in R. 

\therefore R is reflexive.

Given, (1,2) \in R  but  (2,1) \notin R 

\therefore R is not symmetric.

For  a,b,c \in A there are (a,b) \in R \, and \, (b,c) \in R  \Rightarrow (a,c) \in R

\therefore R is transitive.

Hence, R  is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

The correct answer is option B.
