Answer:
C. Natural Numbers
Explanation:
Before we determine what groups
fits into, we must simplify it. We get the number 10, which is much easier to categorize. Out of the four options, the natural numbers are the smallest group, containing only the numbers we use to count (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 ...). We know that 10 fits into this category because 10 is a non-zero whole number. Since the natural numbers contain 10 and are the smallest subset, the answer is C.
As a note: 10 will also fit into the whole numbers and rational numbers since all natural numbers are parts of these two groups as well. These groups contain more numbers, however, making them larger than the natural number set so we can eliminate them. 10 is also not an irrational number since we can accurately define it with a fraction.
