Answer

$0$ element: $\{\}.$ $1$ element: $\{a\},\{b\},\{c\},\{d\}$ $2$ elements $\{a,b\},\{a,c\},\{a,d\},\{b,c\}, \{b,d\} ,\{c,d\}$ $3$ elements $\{a,b,c\},\{a,b,d\},\{a,c,d\},\{b,c,d\}$ $4$ elements $\{a,b,c,d\}$

Work Step by Step

The given set has $4$ elements so it has $2^4=16$ subsets. These subsets are: $0$ element: $\{\}.$ $1$ element: $\{a\},\{b\},\{c\},\{d\}$ $2$ elements $\{a,b\},\{a,c\},\{a,d\},\{b,c\}, \{b,d\} ,\{c,d\}$ $3$ elements $\{a,b,c\},\{a,b,d\},\{a,c,d\},\{b,c,d\}$ $4$ elements $\{a,b,c,d\}$
