i am not very sure of this

if 50 is in k, then 50+1 will be in k
now if 51 is in k, then 51+1 will be in k, nd so on
so 100 will be in k

if 150 is in k, we dont know where k starts from, it can from 0, 50, 99, 120,150 or any number less than 150, insufficient

so what is OA?

mental..
but can we assume that set continues upto 100?
the ques just states k is set of integers...

Yes, your reasoning here is perfect, and a clear explanation as well.
