The possible way to have the sum of 5 consecutive integers = zero is when you have the following, for example
-4,-2,0,+2,+4
So, the product of these numbers on the number line will be always ZERO
C is the answer
-4,-2,0,+2,+4
So, the product of these numbers on the number line will be always ZERO
C is the answer

let a,a+1,a+2,a+3,a+4 be consecutive integers then,
sum is 0 so,
a+a+1+a+2+a+3+a+4=0
5a=-10
a=-2
so the numbers are -2,-1,0,1,2 and
any number multiplied by 0 results 0
option c
