Answer:


\text{D. }44.\overline{4}

Explanation:

*The person who asked this question clarified answer choice D should be
\text{D. }44.\overline{4}.

Define a terminating decimal by a decimal that has a finite (or fixed) number of digits. Answer choices A, B, and C all have a finite number of digits, thus they are terminating decimals. The overline is answer choice D is using to represent that digit (4) is repeating and therefore there are an infinite number of digits in the decimal. Thus,
\boxed{\text{D. }44.\overline{4}} is not a terminating decimal.
