The true statement about the relationships between the number sets is:

All integers are also rational numbers.

Here's a quick breakdown of the other statements:

  • Whole numbers include all positive and negative integers. (False: Whole numbers include all non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, ...), but not negative integers.)

  • Not all natural numbers are real numbers. (False: All natural numbers are real numbers.)

  • Some irrational numbers are also integers. (False: Irrational numbers cannot be integers as integers are whole numbers without decimal or fractional parts, and irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.)

So the only correct statement is that all integers are rational numbers.
