Let's break down each statement to see which one is true:
A. **Whole numbers include all natural numbers and 0.**
- This statement is **true**. Whole numbers are defined as the set of natural numbers (1, 2, 3,...) along with 0 (0, 1, 2, 3,...).
B. **Some irrational numbers are also integers.**
- This statement is **false**. By definition, irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers, and integers are whole numbers without fractions or decimals.
C. **Not all natural numbers are real numbers.**
- This statement is **false**. All natural numbers are indeed real numbers; natural numbers are a subset of real numbers.
D. **All rational numbers are also integers.**
- This statement is **false**. While all integers are rational (as they can be expressed as a fraction with a denominator of 1), not all rational numbers are integers. For example, 1/2 is a rational number but not an integer.
Thus, the only true statement is **A**: Whole numbers include all natural numbers and 0.

Let's clarify the sets of numbers mentioned and whether they are always rational:
1. **Rational Numbers**: These are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. This includes fractions (like 1/2), integers (like 5), and terminating or repeating decimals (like 0.75 or 0.333...).
2. **Decimals**: Not all decimal numbers are rational. For example, √2 = 1.414213... is a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal, which is irrational. However, a decimal like 0.25 or 0.333... is rational because it can be expressed as a fraction.
3. **Integers**: All integers (positive, negative, and zero) are rational numbers because any integer can be expressed as a fraction with 1 as the denominator (e.g., 5 can be written as 5/1).
4. **Positive Numbers**: This term can refer to both rational and irrational numbers. Positive integers (like 1, 2, 3, etc.) are rational, but positive irrational numbers (like π or e) are not rational.
5. **Real Numbers**: This set includes all rational and irrational numbers. Thus, not all real numbers are rational.
### Conclusion:
The set that is always a subset of rational numbers is **Integers**. All integers are rational, but not all rational numbers are integers.
