Let's evaluate each of the properties for the relation R.
Relation R : R={(1,3),(4,2),(2,4),(2,3),(3,1)}
A relation is a function if each element in the domain is related to exactly one element in the codomain. In this case, for example, 2 is related to both 4 and 3, so R is not a function.
A relation is transitive if for every pair of elements (x,y) and (y,z) in the relation, (x,z) is also in the relation. In this case, for example, (1,3) and (3,1) are in the relation but (1,1) is not, so R is not transitive.
A relation is symmetric if for every pair (x,y) in the relation, (y,x) is also in the relation. In this case, for example, (1,3) is in the relation but (3,1) is not, so R is not symmetric.
A relation is reflexive if every element is related to itself, i.e., if all pairs of the form (x,x) are in the relation for all x in the set. In this case, none of the pairs are of the form (x,x), so R is not reflexive.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option C : R is not symmetric.
