Answer 1

The largest family group that includes all of the others is **real numbers**.

Here's the hierarchy:

1. **Natural numbers** are a subset of whole numbers.
2. **Whole numbers** (natural numbers plus zero) are a subset of integers.
3. **Integers** are a subset of rational numbers.
4. **Rational numbers** include integers and fractions, while **irrational numbers** are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction (like the square root of 2 or π).
5. **Real numbers** encompass both rational and irrational numbers.

So, real numbers is the best answer as it contains all the other sets listed.
