To determine which number produces an irrational number when multiplied by 0.5, we need to analyze each option:
A. 3:
\[ 0.5 \times 3 = 1.5 \] (rational)
B. 0.555...:
\[ 0.5 \times 0.555... = 0.27775... \] (rational)
C. \( \sqrt{16} \) or 4:
\[ 0.5 \times 4 = 2 \] (rational)
D. \( \frac{1}{3} \):
\[ 0.5 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{0.5}{3} = \frac{1}{6} \] (rational)
Since none of the options produce an irrational number when multiplied by 0.5, it appears that there may be confusion in the options presented. If there was an intention to include an option which is irrational to begin with, like \(\sqrt{2}\), that would lead to an irrational product. However, based on the options given, all result in rational numbers when multiplied by 0.5.
So, the answer should be none of the above among the stated options as they all yield rational results. If you're looking for a different input that might yield an irrational number with 0.5, that would be any irrational number such as \(\pi\) or \(\sqrt{2}\).

Based on the analysis of each option when multiplied by 0.5, all choices yield rational numbers. However, to directly answer your question regarding the choices provided:
- A. \(3\) produces \(1.5\) (rational).
- B. \(0.555...\) produces \(0.27775...\) (rational).
- C. \(\sqrt{16}\) which is \(4\) produces \(2\) (rational).
- D. \(\frac{1}{3}\) produces \(\frac{1}{6}\) (rational).
Since none of the options result in an irrational number when multiplied by 0.5, the correct answer is: **None of the options produce an irrational number**.
However, if you are looking strictly for which option to select based on the question's intent and provided format, the correct conclusion is that none of these options produces an irrational result. If you need to choose one for other reasons (like the options imposing a choice), you can point out that there seems to be an error in the question as all produce rational outputs.
