Solution

The correct option is C
Zero is a whole number and it is rational number too

Zero is a whole number as well as the rational number. Zero can be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ as $\frac{0}{1}$ . Hence zero is a rational number since it satisfies the definition of rational number where p = 0 and q $\neq$ 0.
