To convert 0.96 to a fraction, you can follow these steps:

1. Write 0.96 as a fraction with 1 in the denominator:
\[
0.96 = \frac{0.96}{1}
\]

2. Multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100 to eliminate the decimal:
\[
\frac{0.96 \times 100}{1 \times 100} = \frac{96}{100}
\]

3. Now simplify the fraction \(\frac{96}{100}\) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 96 and 100, which is 4:
\[
\frac{96 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{24}{25}
\]

Thus, the simplest form of the fraction for 0.96 is:
\[

Therefore, the correct response is:
**\( \frac{24}{25} \)**.
