  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $10$

Define a binary operation $^*$ on the set $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ as $a \,^* \, b = \begin{cases} a+b, & \text{If } a+b < 6 \\ a+b-6, & \text{If } a+b \geq 6 \end{cases}$. Show that $0$ is the identity for this operation and each element $a \neq 0$ of the set is invertible with $6-a$ being the inverse of $a$.
