Rational Numbers
A number that can be expressed in the form $\frac{p}{q}$ where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero is a rational number.
For example:
$\frac{2}{3}$, $\frac{4}{5}$, $\frac{23}{6}$
Note: Any number divided by zero is undefined but not infinity.
Therefore,
Option A is the correct answer.
