Answer:

Positive integer

Explanation:

An integer is a collection of positive and negative number and zero

Positive Numbers: Positive number are the numbers which have positive sign. For example 4, 9 or which which represents positivity like gain , increase, profit etc

Negative numbers: Negative number are the numbers which have negative sign. For example -4, -9 or which which represents negativity like loss , decrease etc

Zero is neither a negative number nor a positive number.

13 yard is a positive because there is a gain , which represent positivity.

We can also write + 13 yard.

Hence, the correct answer is it is a positive integer
