Solution

The correct option is B False
Explanation.
On a number line zero is the middle point of a number line.
All positive numbers occupy the right side of the zero whereas negative numbers occupy the left side of zero on the number line.
Number $\frac{- 8}{- 3}$ is written as $\frac{8}{3}$ . It is a positive rational number.
So it lies to the right side of zero on the number line.
Hence the given statement is False.
