Solution
The correct option is A Anne
Factors are the numbers that are multiplied in order to create a multiple. Multiples are the numbers created by multiplying two factors.
Also, every number is a factor of itself.
Thus,
Factors of the number ≤ Number ≤ Multiples of the number
Hence, Anne's argument is correct.
