To represent the relationship among whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and natural numbers in a Venn diagram, we first need to understand the definitions of each set:
1. **Natural Numbers**: These are the counting numbers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...).
2. **Whole Numbers**: These include all natural numbers along with 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
3. **Integers**: This set includes all whole numbers and their negatives (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
4. **Rational Numbers**: These include all integers, as well as fractions and decimals that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers (e.g., 1/2, -3/4, 0.75, etc.).
Based on these definitions, we can visualize the relationships as follows:
- Natural numbers are a subset of whole numbers.
- Whole numbers are a subset of integers.
- Integers are a subset of rational numbers.
Given the options:
**A. |Natural Numbers| |Whole Numbers| |Rational Numbers| |Integers|.**
- This option places natural numbers separately, which is incorrect.
**B. |Rational Numbers| |Integers| |Whole Numbers| |Natural Numbers|.**
- This option also places all together but doesn't show the correct subset relationships.
**C. |Integers| |Rational Numbers| |Natural Numbers| |Whole Numbers|.**
- This option shows integers and rational numbers but misplaced natural and whole numbers.
**D. |Integers| |Rational Numbers| |Whole numbers| |Natural Numbers|.**
- This option places natural numbers inside whole numbers, whole numbers inside integers, and integers within rational numbers. It correctly represents all the relationships.
Therefore, the best Venn diagram representation is:
**D. |Integers| |Rational Numbers| |Whole numbers| |Natural Numbers|.**
