We already know that -8 is an integer. Natural numbers are those that can be found in nature -- generally, this refers to \[\{ 1, 2, 3, ... \}\] Note that this set does not contain negatives. Rational numbers are those that can be described as the ratio of two integers; it is a super-set of the set of integers. For example, \[-8\] can be written as \[-\frac{8}{1}\]. Thus the answer is B.
