19225775\frac{19}{2^25^77^5}​​

D.

422252\frac{4^2}{2^25^2}​​

Correct option is C

Concept Used:

A rational number has a non-terminating decimal expansion if its denominator, when prime factorized, contains prime factors other than 2 and 5.

Solution:

Option A: 111000\frac{11}{1000}​.

The denominator 1000 has prime factors of 2 and 5 only (1000 = 23 ×\times​53).

Therefore, this fraction has a terminating decimal expansion.

​Option B: 232352\frac{23}{2^35^2} . 

The denominator 235( only contains 2 & 5)

Option C:19225775\frac{19}{2^25^77^5} .

The denominator 225775 ( contains 7, which is not 2 & 5)

Option D: 422252\frac{4^2}{2^25^2}.

The denominator 2252 ( contains 2 & 5)

Option (c) is right answer.
