I would show injectivity of the function $h$ by showing $f(C) cap A-C = emptyset$. This is true, because $f(C) = f(bigcuplimits_ngeq 0 f^n(A-B)) = bigcuplimits_ngeq 1 f^n(A-B) subset C$ and $ A-C cap C = emptyset$. $f$ and $id_A-C$ are both injective and were are done.



But what is the author's idea ? In other words, how do
$A-B subset C$,$ f(C) subset C$,$f^m(A-B) cap f^n(A-B) = emptyset, n > m geq 0$,$f$ is one-one imply the injectivity of $h$ and why is this "better" here?

    As you are on Topology, the author wants you to use a topological approach. That's why the idea is better here. Thus, consider that (1) "the union of any number of open ball is an open ball too" (2) we strictly need to have $B subset A$ to be able to discuss injectivity for $f$. We must combine these two assumptions. Try to figure out yourself, and come back.
