Dyadic fractions versus terminating decimals

Let

A={pq∈(0,1):p∈N,q=2n for some n∈N∪{0},gcd⁡(p,q)=1},A=\Big\{\tfrac pq\in(0,1):p\in\mathbb N, q=2^n\text{ for some }n\in\mathbb N\cup\{0\}, \gcd(p,q)=1\Big\},

B={pq∈(0,1):p∈N,q=2n5m for some n,m∈N∪{0},gcd⁡(p,q)=1},B=\Big\{\tfrac pq\in(0,1):p\in\mathbb N, q=2^n5^m\text{ for some }n,m\in\mathbb N\cup\{0\}, \gcd(p,q)=1\Big\},

C={pq∈(0,1):pq has terminating decimal expansion}C=\Big\{\tfrac pq\in(0,1):\tfrac pq\text{ has terminating decimal expansion}\Big\}

be subsets of (0,1)(0,1). Which of the following statements is true?
