Solution

The correct options are
A $12 \div 4$
D 7 - 5
Whole numbers are not closed under subtraction and division. So not all the divisions and subtractions of whole numbers results in a whole number.
Whole numbers are {0,1,2,3,...}
I. $12 \div 4 = 3$ , a whole number
II. 0 - 3 = -3, not a whole number
III. $5 \div 2 = 2.5$ , not a whole number
IV. 7 - 5 = 2, a whole number
