Detailed Solution

The given statement is that the product of two whole numbers is zero.
We know that the rules of multiplication dictate that multiplying any number by zero will its product as a zero.
We are aware that the whole numbers are those numbers in the number line that start from 0 and continues infinitely along the number line.
When the product of two whole numbers is zero, we can get the following cases.
The first case is that any one of the numbers is zero.

0 × whole number ≠ 0 = 0

The second case is that all the numbers are zero.

0 × 0 = 0

Thus, we can conclude that at least one of the numbers must be zero to make the product of numbers equal to zero.
Therefore, the required correct option is 4.
