Choose and let be the identity set map . The composition is the inclusion and is continuous by part (i). The hypothesized universal implication therefore says that the identity map
is continuous. Its preimage of a set is itself, so every such lies in . Therefore
Combining this with part (ii), when both properties hold, characterizes the subspace topology uniquely.
