B Correct answer
Explanation

Real numbers include rational numbers, irrational numbers, and whole numbers, but NOT imaginary numbers. Imaginary numbers (involving i, where i²=-1) are a separate category from real numbers.

AI explanation

This statement is false because imaginary numbers are not real numbers — they're a separate category built from the square root of negative numbers. The real number system is made up of rational and irrational numbers (which together include whole numbers), but imaginary numbers sit outside it entirely, in the complex plane.
