Given a set X, $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X)}$ denotes the statement: “$X]^{<\omega }\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set” and $\mathcal {C}_\mathrm{R}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )$ denotes the family of all closed subsets of the topological space $\mathbf {2}^{X}$ whose definition depends on a finite subset of X. We study the interrelations between the statements $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X)},$ $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X]^{<\omega })},$ $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin} (F_{n}(X,2))},$ $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(\mathcal {\wp }(X))}$ and “$\mathcal {C}_\mathrm{R}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$has a choice set”. We show:

• (i) $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X)}$ iff $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X]^{<\omega } )}$ iff $\mathcal {C}_\mathrm{R}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set iff $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(F_{n}(X,2))}$.
• (ii) $\mathsf {AC}_{\mathrm{fin}}$ ($\mathsf {AC}$ restricted to families of finite sets) iff for every set X, $\mathcal {C}_\mathrm{R}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set.
• (iii) $\mathsf {AC}_{\mathrm{fin}}$ does not imply “$\mathcal {K}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set($\mathcal {K}(\mathbf {X})$ is the family of all closed subsets of the space $\mathbf {X}$)
• (iv) $\mathcal {K}(\mathbf {2}^{X})\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ implies $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(\mathcal {\wp }(X))}$ but $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(X)}$ does not imply $\mathsf {AC}^{\mathrm{fin}(\mathcal {\wp }(X))}$.

We also show that “For every setX, “$\mathcal {K}\big (\mathbf {2}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$has a choice set” iff “for every setX, $\mathcal {K}\big (\mathbf {0,1]}^{X}\big )\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$has a choice set” iff “for every product$\mathbf {X}$of finite discrete spaces,$\mathcal {K}(\mathbf {X})\backslash \lbrace \varnothing \rbrace$ has a choice set”.
