The correct response is:
whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.
Zero belongs to the sets of real numbers: whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.
Whole numbers: Zero (0) is included in the set of whole numbers, which consists of all non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
Integers: Zero (0) is also included in the set of integers, which consists of all positive and negative whole numbers, including zero (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
Rational numbers: Zero (0) is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction in the form of p/q, where p is an integer and q is a non-zero integer. In this case, zero is expressed as 0/1.
Therefore, zero belongs to the sets of real numbers: whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.
