(i) For any two integers a and b, a $\times b$ is also an integer. Thus, integers are	(a) Distributive under addition and multiplication
(ii) $a \times b = b \times a$ ; denotes that integers are	(b) Positive quotient
(iii) $a \times (b + c) = a \times b + a \times c;$ this denotes that integers are	(c) Closed under multiplication
(iv) The division of a negative integer by another negative integer results in	(d) Commutative under multipication
