Real numbers include natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers.

Therefore,
`(4)/(7)` is a real number.

Option B: Natural numbers

So,
`(4)/(7)` is not a natural number.

Option F: Whole numbers

Number starting from 0 and goes on.

There is no fractions and negative numbers in whole numbers.

So
`(4)/(7)` is not a whole number.

Therefore Option A and Option D is the correct answer.
