B A and D?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
B no, because division between two integer numbers not Always is an integer number.
I think your answer is rational numbers without zero.
OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think D no, because division between Whole number not Always is a Whole number, for example 3:5 is not a Whole number even if 3 and 5 are so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a and c?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
I think C no, because 1:0=+infinity, which infinity doesn't belong to the set {-1,0,1}
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a? xD
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
I think is the only possible answer, even if we have to esclude number zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):
?????"
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
@surjithayer you are right! It is a rational number!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
providing c != 0, if you have a/b divided by c/d, you get ad/bc. I think answer (a) is your only choice.
