Recall that a Turing machine $\text{T}$ can be represented or 'coded' by an integer $m$. Let us write 'the $m$ th Turing machine' to mean the Turing machine coded by $m$. Which of the following sets is not recursively enumerable?

  1. The set of $m$ such that the $m$ th Turing machine halts on the input $0.$
  2. The set of $m$ such that the $m$ th Turing machine does not halt on the input $0.$
  3. The set of $m$ such that the $m$ th Turing machine halts on the input $m$.
  4. The set of $n$ such that all Turing machines halt on the input $n$.

$\mathrm{A}$ is undecidable but recognizable.

$\text{B}$ is unrecognizable.

$\mathrm{C}$ is undecidable but recognizable.

$\mathrm{D}$ is decidable. There is no input $n$, such that ALL TMs halt on $n.$ So, statement in option D is Trivially Not true, hence, decidable.
