Solution

The correct option is A Lies to the left side of 0 on the number line.
Rational number $\frac{- 2}{3}$ has $- 2$ as numerator and $3$ as denominator. As numerator $> 0$ and denominator $< 0$ , we know that the given rational number is less than $0$ , hence negative.

Negative rational numbers are located on the left of $0$ on the number line, hence, answer is A.
