True. Natural numbers can be used in three different contexts:
- Cardinals: Used to denote quantity (e.g., "three apples" means there are three in count).
- Ordinals: Used to indicate position or order (e.g., "third in line" refers to the position of an item).
- Identification: Used as identifiers or tags (e.g., a jersey number or a customer ID).
Thus, the statement is true.
