Every whole number is a rational number: for example, 3=31. ... Everywhole number n can be written as a fraction of integers: n=n1. We aren't required to write it that way; we just need to know that it is possible to express every whole number as a fraction of integers, and hence it is rational.

So I Believe the Correct Answer would Be D)
If a number is not a rational number, then it is not a whole number. The converse is true
