Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The statement that is proven true in this question is option B or "An irrational number is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal." A non-terminating or a non-repeating decimal is a decimal that never ends it's repeating forever and all repeating decimals are irrational numbers because the decimal cannot be expressed as a ratio with other integers so a repeating decimal is a irrational number.

Hope this helps.
