Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{6}{5}$
A rational number is positive only when both its numerator and denominator are positive.
We can see that only $\frac{6}{5}$ has positive numerator and denominator. Rest all the given options have either negative numerator or negative denominator.
Therefore, only $\frac{6}{5}$ is a positive rational number.
Hence, option C is correct.
