Answer : "Multiplication is distributive over addition for whole numbers" is also true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the given statements, only one of them is not true.

The statement "Both addition and multiplication are associative for whole numbers" is true. Associativity means that the order in which you group the numbers doesn't change the result. For example, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) for addition and (a x b) x c = a x (b x c) for multiplication, both hold true for whole numbers.

The statement "Zero is the identity for multiplication of whole numbers" is also true. The identity element is the number that when multiplied to any number, results in the same number. For whole numbers, the identity element for multiplication is 1.

The statement "Addition and multiplication both are commutative for whole numbers" is true. Commutativity means that changing the order of the numbers doesn't change the result. For example, a + b = b + a for addition and a x b = b x a for multiplication, both hold true for whole numbers.

The statement "Multiplication is distributive over addition for whole numbers" is also true. Distributivity means that multiplication of one number to a sum of two numbers is equal to the sum of multiplication of that number to both the numbers. For example, a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c) holds true for whole numbers.
