IMO C

(1) The sum of all the numbers in Q is zero.

Set 1: = {-2, -1 , 0, 1, 2}
Sum=0
Set 2: = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
Sum=0

Not Sufficient.

(2) The product of any two numbers in Q is zero.

Set 1= { 0, 0, 0, 2}
Product any two = 0
Set 2= {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
Product any two = 0

Not Sufficient.

Together: ab = 0, (a+b)=0 => a=0, b=0
So, Set 2 ={0, 0, 0, 0...} Possible
All elements equal.

Sufficient.
