Solution:
The numbers of the form $\frac{\text{p}}{\text{q}},$ where p and q are integers and $\text{q}\neq0,$ are known as rational numbers.
Decimal representation of a rational number is either terminating or a repeating decimal, since every decimal of this form can be expressed in the form $\frac{\text{p}}{\text{q}}.$
Hence, the correct opion is (b).
