Answer:

a real number, but not rational

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of all prime numbers are irrational.

We want to determine whether [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] is rational or irrational and if it is a real number.

Since 7 is a prime number [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] is an irrational number.

Both rational and irrational numbers are real numbers.

Therefore [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] is a real number but not rational number

The second choice is correct
