The correct answer to this question is letter "B. Identity Property of Addition." The reason for statement 3 in the proof is using the identity Property of Addition.

when u add 0 to some number, u get the original number back.

Answer:

Option: B is the correct answer.

   B. Identity Property of Addition.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that identity under addition is the element which when added to any elements  gives the resultant as the same element.

i.e. if e is the identity of the set then,

       a*e=a for all a belongs to the set, where * is the operation

We know that under addition operation the identity is the zero element.

Because if zero is added to any element than it gives the same element.

Reason. 1       -d+(d + e)=(-d+d)+e    1. Associative Property of Addition.

Reason 2               = 0 + e                2. Additive Inverse Property.

Reason 3                   = e                  3. Identity Property of Addition.
