1 and 9 are the easiest. 9 is the discrete topology. Here we can see a basis for 9 are the singletons. By using the discussion about hausodoff spaces in munkres as a starting point, since we can find neighbouhoods such that a,b,c are disjoint form each other, a,b,c are in the intuitive sense "isolated form each other
Whereas for 1, the only basis is the whole set, so it the neighbourhood. This contains all points. Therefore the singletons a,b,c are not disjoint from each other. If I understood correctly, that means a,b,c are in some sense "near each other"
