Calculation: A statement in which two expressions are related by an inequality symbol is called an inequality. These expressions are called the sides of the inequality. The inequalities of the form a&amp;lt;b or a&amp;gt;b are called strict inequalities and the inequalities of the form a≤b or a≥b are called non-strict inequalities. Note that, the inequality a&amp;gt;0 is equivalent to &#039;a is positive&#039; and the inequality a&amp;lt;0 is equivalent to &#039;a is negative&#039;. If a≥0, then either a&amp;gt;0 ora=0, which can be read as &#039;a is nonnegative&#039;. Therefore, the correct option that describes a from the given choices, if a is a nonnegative real number is d. a≥0.
