c) 1/12 - first you add together the sum of the four whole number factors (1, 2, 3, 6) which equals 12 (or 12/1), then to find the reciprocal, you flip 12/1 to 1/12.

The answer is "A."
1+ 1/3 + 1/2 +1/6 = 12/6

whole number factors of 6 are the numbers that can be divided evenly into 6. They are:
1, 2, 3, 6
Reciprocals is 1 over the number. They are:
1/1, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/6
Sum is just adding them up
1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6
