Answer:

C. All whole numbers from 0 to 10

Explanation:

Options:

A. All nonnegative real numbers

B. All rational from 0 to 10

C. All whole numbers from 0 to 10

D. All real numbers

Given:

A student can not buy more than 10 books.

The domain is the x-axis which is the number of books.

You can not buy half or a fourth of a book.

Nonnegative real numbers would include 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 1.5, etc.

Rational numbers from 0 to 10 would include integers, fractions, and repeating decimals which include 1/3, 2/4, 3/4, 6/5, etc.

Whole numbers from 0 to 10 would include integers and a rational.

Real numbers include negative number, but the students are not selling books.
