**Question**: Which of the numbers x, y, z, or w must equal 0 if A and B are disjoint sets?

**Diagram Explanation**:
The image includes a Venn diagram with three circles and regions labeled as follows:
- **U**: The universal set
- **A**: The circle representing set A
- **B**: The circle representing set B
- The regions within the diagram are labeled with variables:
  - **x**: The section inside A but outside B
  - **y**: The intersection of A and B
  - **z**: The section inside B but outside A
  - **w**: The section outside both A and B

**Answer**:
The number in the box (____) must equal zero if A and B are disjoint sets. 

**Explanation**:
For sets A and B to be disjoint, they must have no elements in common. This means the intersection of A and B should be empty. Therefore, the value of **y** must equal zero if A and B are disjoint sets.

**Interactive Element**:
The interface includes a progress bar and a "Next" button for navigation.
