Also, for $\mathrm { a } \in \mathrm { A }$, the set $\mathrm { M } ( \mathrm { a } ) = \{ \mathrm { b } \in \mathrm { A } \mid \mathrm { a } \Delta \mathrm { b } = \mathrm { b } \Delta \mathrm { a } \}$ is defined.
Accordingly, which of the following is the set $\mathbf { M } ( \mathbf { 4 } )$?
A) $\{ 1,2,4 \}$
B) $\{ 1,3,5 \}$
C) $\{ 2,3,4 \}$
D) $\{ 2,4,5 \}$
E) $\{ 3,4,5 \}$
