$R=\{(1,2),\,(2,2),\,(1,1),\,(4,4),\,(1,3),\,(3,3),\,(3,2)\}$

It is seen that $(a, \,a) \in R,$ for every $a \in\{1,\,2,\,3,\,4\}$

$\therefore R$ is reflexive.

It is seen that $(1,\,2) \in R ,$ but $(2,\,1)\notin R$

$\therefore R$ is not symmetric.

Also, it is observed that $(a, \,b),\,(b, \,c) \in R \Rightarrow(a,\, c) \in R$ for all $a, \,b, \,c \in\{1,\,2,\,3,\,4\}$

$\therefore R$ is transitive.

Hence, $R$ is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

The correct answer is $B$.
