The correct answer is: **c. the dividend and the divisor.**
When dividing multi-digit decimals, it is acceptable to keep decimals in both the dividend (the number being divided) and the divisor (the number you are dividing by). If the divisor is a decimal, you can move the decimal point in both the divisor and the dividend to make the divisor a whole number, which often simplifies the division process.
