(a)

anonymous · Answer

It's not natural because natural numbers are 1,2,3,4,...
It is an integer
It is rational (and therefore not irrational)
There is inconsistency in the definition of 'whole' number, so given the only option for whole number is when it's with 'natural' and 'whole', and after I said it wasn't natural, you're left with only (a).
