Answer 1

B and E

Explanation:

A terminating decimal is a decimal with a finite number of digits after the decimal point. If we input all of these fractions into a calculator, or solve them by hand, we find that B is equal to 2.5, and E is equal to 0.375, and all the others are repeating decimals.
