Answer;


C;\text{ rational}

Explanation;

Here, we want to check for the property of the given number

We look through the options definitions;

A whole number is one without any decimal attachment

The number is fully decimal so it is not a whole number

An integer is a positive whole number. The number is not a whole number so it cannot be an integer

A rational number is one that can be expressed in the form a/b

0.2782 is same as 2782/10000; so it is rational

Since the number is rational, then it cannot be irrational

That makes option c the only correct answer
