Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Option: D is the correct answer. D) a number that can be written as a decimal that neither repeats nor terminatesStep-by-step explanation:We know that real numbers are  divided into two categories:1)   Rational Number--A number that can be expressed in the form of p/q i.e. a fraction where p belongs to integers and q belongs to natural numbers and also the decimals which are terminating and  repeating.2)    Irrational Number--A number that cannot be expressed in the form of p/q are irrational also the non-repeating and non-terminating decimals are considered as irrational.          Hence, the answer is:             Option: D
