Answer:

Option C

Solution:

  • Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction in the form
    \displaystyle(p)/(q), where p is the numerator and q is the denominator.
  • Now, which numbers can and cannot be expressed as a fraction?
  • First of all, can we express
    √(12) as a fraction? No, it's a surd.
  • Can we express
    \pi as a fraction? No. Remember, pi is irrational. It has an infinite number of digits after the decimal point (same with √12)
  • Can we express
    -\displaystyle(3)/(7) as a fraction? Sure. What's more, it's already a fraction.
  • Can we express √7 as a fraction? No. It's also irrational, like √12 and π.

Hope it helps.
