On the power set P of a non-empty set A, we define an operation $\triangle \text{ by }\text{X}\triangle\text{Y}=(\text{X}\cap\text{Y})∪(\text{X}∩\text{Y})\text{X}\triangle\text{Y}=\text{X}∩\text{Y}∪\text{X}∩\text{Y}$
Then which are of the following statements is true about $\triangle$
  1. Commutative and associative without an identity.
  2. Commutative but not associative with an identity.
  3. Associative but not commutative without an identity.
  4. Associative and commutative with an identity.
