Net investment can be positive, negative, or zero, but gross investment can never be less than zero. Explain

This is true by definition. Gross investment refers to the amount of investment spending on capital goods before allowance is made for depreciation. If any capital spending takes place, then the amount has to be positive. If none takes place, gross investment could be zero, but it could never be less than zero.
