Answer 1

5/2 = 2.5 It terminates.

4/5 = 0.8 It terminates.

2/7 = 0.28571428571428.... It does not terminate.

4/3 = 1.3333.... It does not terminate.

So: 5/2 and 4/5 terminates option C.

I just plugged each of those into a calculator. The ones that end and don't go on forever are terminating so the answer is C:4/5 and 5/2
