(d)2 and 3
Answer
No answer key was printed for this question.
Explanation
Clearly, there exists a smallest natural number, namely 1. So statement (1) is true. Natural numbers are counting numbers and the counting process never ends, so the largest natural number is not known. Thus, statement (2) is false. There is no natural number between two consecutive natural numbers, so statement (3) is false.
