Solution

The correct option is D
1 is a whole number

Natural numbers start from 1 and continue thereafter by adding 1 each time.

So 1, 2,3,4,5... are all natural numbers.

All the natural numbers and "0" together are referred to as whole numbers. Hence 1 is a whole number.

Natural numbers, their negatives and 0 constitute the set of Integers.
