Let's evaluate each statement:
1. **1 is a natural number**: True. In most definitions, natural numbers start from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...).
2. **0 is a whole number**: True. Whole numbers include all natural numbers and the number 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
3. **3/0 is a rational number**: False. Division by zero is undefined, so 3/0 is not a rational number.
Based on this evaluation, the two statements that are true are:
- **1 is a natural number**
- **0 is a whole number**
However, since the question asks for a single statement, and both 1 being a natural number and 0 being a whole number are true, the most complete answer is:
Thus, the statements "1 is a natural number" and "0 is a whole number" are correct, while the third statement is false and "None of the choices" is also not a valid option.
In conclusion, both the first and second statements are true, but since the format suggests choosing one, it's particularly true that **0 is a whole number** is a commonly accepted definition.
