Answer:

C: Irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason i chose C because when you add a rational and irrational number together you still get a repeating number which is irrational.

For Example: Take a rational number 5 and Pi

if you ad those together 5+3.1415... you still get a repeating decimal, and repeating decimals are also irrational numbers.

Hope this helps :D
