    • C.

      The number itself

    • D.

    Correct Answer
    B. 0
    Explanation
    The explanation lies in the fundamental mathematical property that when you multiply any number by zero, the result is always zero. This property is part of the multiplication operation in arithmetic.
    If you take any number, let's call it 'a,' and multiply it by zero:


    a×0=0

    Regardless of the value of 'a,' the product is always zero. This concept is consistent across the real numbers and is a fundamental rule in arithmetic. It reflects the idea that zero times anything is zero.
