### Vector Spaces in Linear Algebra

Let \( W \) be the set of all vectors

\[
\begin{bmatrix}
x_1 \\
x_2 \\
x_3 \\
x_4
\end{bmatrix}
\]

such that \( x_1 - 2x_2 = 4x_3 \) and \( 2x_1 = x_3 + 3x_4 \).

### Determine if \( W \) is a vector space and check the correct answer(s) below.

#### Options:
- **A.** \( W \) is a vector space because it can be written as \( N(A) \) for some matrix \( A \).
- **B.** \( W \) is not a vector space because it does not have a zero element.
- **C.** \( W \) is not a vector space because it is not closed with respect to scalar multiplication.
- **D.** \( W \) is a vector space because it is in \( \mathbb{R}^4 \).
- **E.** \( W \) is a vector space because it has a zero element.
- **F.** \( W \) is not a vector space because it does not have additive closure.
