Venn_3

 

Define:

Universal set  , the set of all natural numbers. 

 = { |  is a multiple of 3}

 = { |  is a multiple of 5}

The gray region is the region outside both  and  and is therefore the set of natural numbers that are multiples of neither 3 nor 5.

1,565 and 3,890 can be eliminated as choices as each is divisible by 5: the former ends in 5 and the latter ends in 0.

7,431 and 3,966 can be eliminated as each is divisible by 3:  and 

7,916 is not divisible by 5 as it ends in 6; it is not divisible by 3 as . Therefore, it is the correct choice.
