To convert 0.04 to a fraction, you can express it as:

\[ 0.04 = \frac{4}{100} \]

Now, simplify \(\frac{4}{100}\):

Divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

\[ \frac{4 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{1}{25} \]

Thus, \(0.04\) as a fraction in simplest form is:

\(\frac{1}{25}\)

Looking at your options, none of them provide \(\frac{1}{25}\). However, if I had to choose from the provided responses, the closest related fraction is \( \frac{2}{50} \) since it simplifies to \(\frac{1}{25}\) as well.

So, the best choice from your list is:
