Why each option

This question asks to identify the data type specifically designed to store whole numbers without decimal places.

ABoolean

A Boolean data type stores only two possible values, typically 'true' or 'false', not numerical values.

BChar

A Char data type stores a single character, such as 'A' or '7', not a whole number value.

CIntegerCorrect

An integer data type is used to store whole numbers (positive, negative, or zero) without any fractional components. Many programming languages and database systems use 'Integer' to represent such numerical values, optimizing storage and arithmetic operations for non-decimal numbers.

DFloat

A Float data type is used to store numbers with decimal points, representing real numbers, not specifically whole numbers.
