The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Set A contains 5 odd numbers: {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}.
For each element, we have two choices: either include it in the subset or exclude it. 
Since there are 5 odd numbers, we have \(2^5 = 32\) possible subsets that contain only odd numbers. 

However, we need to exclude the empty set since it does not contain any odd numbers. So the number of subsets of A containing only odd numbers is \(32 - 1 = 31\). Therefore, the correct answer is option (A) 31.
