Use the diagram to explain how to find the sum of a. the first 100 natural numbers. b. Use this technique to find \( 1+2+3+4++201 \) a. Choose the correct answer below A. There are 50 sums of 101 as shown by the arcs. So the sum of the first 100 natural numbers is \( 50+101=151 \) B. There are 100 sums of 101 as shown by the arcs. So the sum of the first 100 natural numbers \( 15100+101=201 \) C. There are 50 sums of 101 as shown by the arcs. So the sum of the first 100 natural numbers is \( 50 \cdot 101=5050 \) D. There are 100 sums of 101 as shown by the arcs So the sum of the first 100 natural numbers is \( 100 \cdot 101=10,100 \)
