Solution

The correct option is A

Irrational


An irrational number is a real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers, i.e. as a fraction.

Therefore, irrational numbers, when written as decimal numbers, do not terminate, nor do they repeat.

2, 3 are examples of irrational numbers.
