The third Fibonacci number is ____.

A) the sum of the first two Fibonacci numbers
B) the sum of the last two Fibonacci numbers
C) the product of the first two Fibonacci numbers
D) the product of the last two Fibonacci numbers

The third Fibonacci number is the sum of the first two Fibonacci numbers. The sequence starts with 0 and 1, so the third number is 0 + 1 = 1. The Fibonacci sequence is created by adding the two previous numbers to get the next number in the sequence, so the third number will always be the sum of the first two.
