Which of the following spaces need not be Hausdorff ?
Answer: C
The space that need not be Hausdorff is an indiscrete topological space.
In the indiscrete topology the only open sets are the empty set and X. If X has two points, the only open set containing either of them is X itself, so they cannot be separated by disjoint open sets.
The others are always Hausdorff. A space is Hausdorff exactly when its diagonal \(\Delta\) is closed in \(X \times X\) (A). In a metric space two points at distance \(d\) lie in disjoint balls of radius \(d/2\) (B). And a product of Hausdorff spaces is Hausdorff, since points differing in one coordinate are separated by preimages of disjoint open sets (D).
