We are given the following number


-12.\bar{123}

Where the decimal part is repeating.

These rational numbers are called recurring non-terminating numbers.

Also, notice that the number is in decimal (not whole) so this is definitely not an integer.

It is also not a whole number since it is in decimal.

Since the number is rational, it cannot be irrational.

Therefore, the only correct answer is "rational"
