Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Irrational number: It can not be expressed in the form of p/q, where p,q are integers and q≠0. For example : [tex]\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},2.3456..., \pi \text{ etc}.[/tex]

Money cannot be expressed in square root of a prime number but sometimes we get not recurring non repeating decimal amount. So, budgeting with money has less chances to get an irrational number.

Area of a circle is

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]

where, r is radius.

It contains [tex]\pi[/tex] which is an irrational number. So, it is most likely o encounter an irrational number.

Area of square is square of its side. So, it has less chances to get an irrational number.

Buying food that has a cost per pound has less chances to get an irrational number because monitory terms are generally rational.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
