Is the set of positive integers a group under the operation of addition? If not, why not? Select all that apply.
O A. Yes, it is a group.
O B. No, it is not a group. There exist positive integers a, b, and c such that (a + b) +c+a+ (b+c).
O c. No, it is not a group. The set of positive integers is not closed under the operation of addition.
O D. No, it is not a group. There is no identity element in the set of positive integers under the operation of addition.
O E. No, it is not a group. There is at least one positive integer that does not have an inverse in the set of positive integers under the operation of addition.
O F. No, it is not a group. There exist positive integers
and b such that a +b+b+a.
