Explanation:

• Integer: Integers include all whole numbers (positive, negative, and zero) and their opposites. 47 is a positive whole number, so it is an integer.
• Whole Number: Whole numbers are non - negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3,...). 47 is a positive integer, so it is a whole number.
• Natural Number: Natural numbers are positive integers (1, 2, 3,...) (in some definitions, 0 is also included, but 47 is a positive integer greater than 0, so it is a natural number in the common positive - integer - only definition).
• Real Number: Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers. Integers, whole numbers, and natural numbers are all subsets of real numbers, so 47 is a real number.

A. integer, B. whole number, C. natural number, D. real number (where the options are: A. integer, B. whole number, C. natural number, D. real number)
