{{a}} is a partition of A.

Explanation:

Given a set X, we say that Y is a partition of X if

  • Every element of Y is a nonempty subset of X and
  • Every element of X is included in exactly one element of Y

If we let Y = {{a}} and test to see if Y is a partition of A, we can see that the first condition is satisfied, as the only element of Y is {a} = A which is a subset of A, and the second condition is satisfied because the only element of A is a, which is contained in the single element of Y.
