Solution

The correct option is A True
The closure property of multiplication states that: if $a a n d b$ are any two whole numbers then $a \times b$ will also be a whole number.
For example, if we take any two whole numbers say $3 a n d 5$
Then by applying property, we get $3 \times 5 = 15$
$15$ is also a whole number.
Hence, we can say whole numbers are closed under multiplication.
