Among the numbers listed (1, 4, 12, 16), all of them are perfect squares or whole numbers, which means they are rational numbers.
- \(1 = \sqrt{1}\)
- \(4 = \sqrt{16}\)
- \(12\) is a whole number.
- \(16 = \sqrt{256}\)
None of these options are irrational. To clarify, irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers, for example, \(\sqrt{2}\) or \(\pi\). Since all the options given are either whole numbers or perfect squares, none of them are irrational.
