Final answer:

The correct answer to which number is an integer but not a whole number is B. -4, because it is a negative integer which excludes it from being a whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which of the following is an integer but not a whole number. Integers are numbers without any fractional or decimal parts and include negative numbers, zero, and positive numbers. Whole numbers are all non-negative integers, which includes zero and all positive integers, but not negative integers.

Let's review the options:

  • A. -9.6 is not an integer because it is decimal.
  • B. -4 is an integer (because it is a whole number without a fractional part) and it is not a whole number (because it is negative).
  • C. 0 is both an integer and a whole number.
  • D. 3.7 is not an integer because it is a decimal.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. -4.
