Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

All real numbers have a reciprocal.

But we know that 0 has no inverse, means there is no reciprocal exists for 0.

Because,

[tex]\dfrac{1}{0}=\infty[/tex]

So, 0 is a counter example to the statement.

Hence, Second option is correct.
