    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's take "a" an element from A, a ⊆ A.

    As A ⊆ B, a ⊆ A ⊆ B, so a ⊆ B.

    Therefore, a ⊆ B ⊆ Cc, a ⊆ Cc.

    Let's remember that Cc is exactly the opposite of C. That means that an element is in C or in Cc; it has to be in one of them but not in both.

    As a ⊆ Cc, a ⊄ C.

    As we can generalize this for every element of A, there is not element of A that is contained in C.

    Therefore, the intersection (the elements that are in both A and C) is empty.
