Solution

The correct option is B

a rational number


Given is 2.35,

2.35is a rational number because it is a terminating decimal.

Note: Terminating decimal numbers has a finite number of digits after the decimal point.

A number with a terminating decimal is always a rational number. If the denominator of a rational number can be expressed in form 2p5qor 2p or 5q, where p,qN, then the decimal expansion of the rational number terminates.
