- D0 under addition.
Correct answer
A. The set of odd integers under addition.
Step-by-step solution
Option (a) Since, sum of two odd integers is an even integer. Closure property does not hold. So, it is not a group. Option (b) Since, sum of two even integers is an even integer. So, it is a group. Option (c) 1 (-1)=-1 , which belongs to given set. So, it is a group. Option (d) 0+0-0 , which belongs to given set. So, it is a group.
