The correct answer is: \((A \backslash B) \backslash C=A \backslash(B \cup C)\)
Hint:
\(\begin{aligned}
:(A \backslash B) \backslash C & =\left(A \cap B^{\prime}\right) \cap C^{\prime} \\
& =A \cap\left(B^{\prime} \cap C^{\prime}\right) \\
& =A \cap(B \cup C)^{\prime} \\
& =A \backslash(B \cup C)
\end{aligned}\)
