The answer to your question would be : B, square root of 5. The reason for this is because the square root of 5 will result in a number that can't really ever be exact. Like it will be 2.xxxxxxxxxx. (the Xs represent random numbers). If you look at A, that is just -9/5, which is -1.8 in decimal form. Look at C, that is 7/3, which is 2.3 repeating, and D is just 3. Therefore your answer is B.
