a
Take the formula saying that a set is transitive:
φ1​(x):∀u∈x∀v∈u(v∈x).​
(1)
This is a bounded formula in set theory. If x∈M, transitivity of M ensures that every u∈x and every v∈u is already in M, and the same holds in N. Both structures therefore run through exactly the same bounded witnesses and use the same actual membership relation. They agree on φ1​(x) for every x∈M, proving set-theoretic absoluteness.
