Answer: D.

It is irrational because the product of an irrational and a rational number is an irrational

Explanation:

The square root of 3 is an irrational number.

The correct answer of the number will be irrational. Because the product of an irrational and a rational number is an irrational

The only way the product of irrational number with rational number will produce a rational number is when the rational number is zero. Otherwise, it will always produce irrational number as a product.
