Answer:

0 is the only option that belongs to the set of Whole numbers.

Explanation:

We know that whole numbers:

  • are general counting numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, … and so on.
  • contains natural numbers that start from 1 onwards.
  • contains positive integers along with 0.

In general, the set of whole numbers is:

W = {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}

Thus, the set of whole numbers DOES NOT include negative integers and fractions.

Therefore, 0 is the only option that belongs to the set of Whole numbers.
