Answer:

c) 9

Explanation:

The even numbers are those that when divided by two give an exact number

The statement says All whole numbers are even.

Let's check it


2/ 2=1


9/ 2= 4.5


6/ 2=3


4/ 2=2

9 is the counterexample that shows the statement is false because 9 is a whole number and is not even.
