Question

The set of non-negative integers is known as

• A. Integers
• B. Natural numbers
• C. Whole numbers
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Whole numbers

Set of non-negative integers $=\text{{}0,1,2,3,...\text{}}$

Now, listing and matching the set of numbers in all options by the set of non-negative integers one by one:

(a) Integers $=\text{{}...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...\text{}}$

(b) Natural Number $=\text{{}1,2,3,...\text{}}$

(c) Whole Number $=\text{{}0,1,2,3,...\text{}}$

We can conclude from the above sets of numbers that the set of non-negative integers is the same as the set of whole numbers.

Therefore, (c.) is the correct option.
