The commutative law states that the order of operands does not affect the result of an operation. In the context of subtraction, the commutative law does not hold for whole numbers. In other words, the order of subtraction does affect the result.

So, if a and b are two whole numbers, the correct statement would be:

(b) a ≠ b
