    The answer to your question is: the third option.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    c < 28

    Cate' problem

    The shelter can house 15.6 cats because 15.6 < 28. This option is incorrect because cats are integers we can not count 0.6 cats.

    The shelter can house - 8 cats because - 8 < 28. - 8 is a negative number, cats are not negative so this option is wrong.

    The shelter can house 17 cats because 17 < 28. This is the correct option, 17 is an integer lower than 28.

    The shelter can house 28 cats because 28 < 28. 28 is not consider by the inequality, so this option is wrong.
