Which of the following is an example of why irrational numbers are not closed under addition?

To show that irrational numbers are not closed under addition, we need two irrational numbers whose sum is rational. In choice A, √10 and −√10 are both irrational, but they are opposites, so √10 + (−√10) = 0. Since 0 is rational, choice A is the example.
