Answer 1

Hello!

Whole numbers are numbers without a decimal point, also known as an integer (ex. -4, 0, 3, 10).

Rational numbers are a number than can be turned into a simple fraction (ex. -3/1, 4/5, 1/3, 1.75)

Natural numbers are integers that are NOT negative, sometimes zero.

Therefore, the answer is A. whole numbers, integers, rational numbers.

Answer 2

Answer:  Option 'C' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that

Whole numbers starts from 0 to infinity.

Rational numbers are those numbers which can be written as p/q form.

Integers are those numbers which can be positive or negative.

So, - 10 is considered as rational number as it can be rewritten as $\dfrac{-10}{1}$

and -10 is negative number so, it is considered as integers also.

So, Option 'C' is correct.
