Final Answer:

Decimal expansion of Pi is non-repeating and follows no discernible pattern, and the digit 4 occurs at that specific position in its infinite sequence. Thus, the correct answer is option C) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Pi is an irrational number, meaning its decimal representation goes on forever without repeating. To determine the digit at the 87th decimal place, we count digits starting from the decimal point. The digits at each place are determined by complex mathematical properties.

In this case, after counting 86 digits, the 87th digit is 4. This is found by the nature of Pi's infinite and non-repeating decimal expansion. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 4.
