    D. 12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The first thing is to determine the two integer sets, which we will start with the number 1, therefore the first would be:

    {1,2,3,4}

    We know that it has a number in common, which in this case would have to be 4, therefore, the other set would be:

    {4,5,6,7}

    Therefore the sets are:

    {1,2,3,4}; {4,5,6,7}

    Now to calculate the difference between the sum of the integer between them it would be:

    (5 - 3) + (6 - 2) + (7 - 1)

    = 2 + 4 + 6

    = 12

    The answer then would be D. 12
