Answer is C. 4.5102.

To understand Irrational number better you can say that they are ‘weird’ numbers. Like √6, 3π or 3.333… 
Irrational numbers are that cannot be formed in ‘ratio’. Example of a ratio is ½ it can be read as 1 to 2. 
In this case only 4.5102 is the number that cannot be formed in ratio, hence, irrational number.
