Saahil Ahmed, integers are whole round numbers, including 0. Consecutive means the integers follow one another. For example, 1, 2, and 3 are consecutive; so are 2, 3, and 4; and 101, 102, and 103; or -1000, -999, and -998.

Yitzak, the question asks which MUST be true, not which MAY be true. E may be true for the integers you mentioned, but the correct answer MUST be true for any sequence of integers that meet the criteria.
