    It's closed under addition. You can take any two natural numbers you want, add them up and you'll get some other natural number (eg: 3 and 5 - - - > 3+5 = 8)

    it's not closed under subtraction. Sure 5-3 = 2 is a natural number but 3-5 = - 2 is not a natural number

    so that leads us to the answer being choice B
