Answer:

0.5 is a rational number. To keep the sum rational, the addend must also be rational. The square root of a number which is not itself a perfect square is irrational, so A cannot be the answer, because the sum would be irrational. B is a rational number and therefore when added to 0.5 produces another rational number, 0.75.
