Recall that in order for the decimal expansion of a fraction to terminate, the fraction's denominator, in fully reduced form, must have a prime factorization that consists of only 2's and/or 5's. 
The denominator in A is composed of only 2's, (256=28)
The denominator in B is composed of only 2's and 5's, (100=22×52)
In fully reduced form, the fraction in D is equal to 720 and the denominator 20 is composed of only 2's and 5's (20=22×5).
By contrast, the denominator in C has prime factors other than 2's and 5's (27=33), and in fully reduced form, the fraction in E is equal to 115, and 15 has a prime factor other than 2's and 5's (15=3×5).
Therefore, options A, B and D are the correct answers.
