TITLE: A true/false questions on general topology
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: which of the following statements are true?   
($a$) If every countable subset of a topological space is closed, then the space is discrete.
($b$) Every closed function from one space onto another is open.
($c$) Every discrete space is $0$-dimensional.    

My thought :-
for a.I think it is false. but not sure. $\mathbb{N}$ with cofinite topology may work but not sure.
for b. let us consider $X$=[$-1,1$] and $f(x)=x^2$. so it is also false.
for c. I have no idea at all.    
can anyone help me please

REPLY [2 votes]: (a): You almost have the solution, just replace cofinite by cocountable and adjust the underlying set.
(b) Your example works, but only if the map is not surjective, that is if $Y\neq[0,1]$. For an example of a continuous and closed surjection, let $X=I$ and $Y=S^1$ and consider the map $x\mapsto(\cos(2\pi x),\sin(2\pi x))$.
(c) According to Wolfram MathWorld a space is $n$-dimensional if for every open cover there is an open refinment such that each point is in at most $n+1$ of the sets of the refinement. For a discrete space you can always take the discrete cover consisting of all the singletons.
