C. By putting a bar over them

In mathematics, repeating digits in a repeating decimal are typically shown by placing a bar (or vinculum) over the digits that repeat. For example, the decimal \(0.\overline{3}\) represents \(0.333...\), where the "3" repeats indefinitely.

So which one?

The correct answer is C. By putting a bar over them.
