Solution

The correct option is B
p and q are integers and q ≠ 0

A rational number is a number that is in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers, and q is not equal to 0.
A number that can be expressed as p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0.
A number of the form p/q is said to be a rational number if p and q are integers and q ≠ 0
Some of the examples of rational numbers include $\frac{1}{6}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{9}, \frac{6}{4}$ and so on.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
