repeating decimal is also known as recurring decimal. It is form of representation of fractional number in which numbers after decimal periodically gets repeated.
Example 1/9 = 0.1111 where number one gets repeated infinitely
another common example is 1/7 = 0·142857 142857 14...
here digits 142857 repeated periodically after decimal.
As given in question "A repeating decimal has a never-ending pattern of the same digits" is consistent with definition of repeating decimal hence statement is true.
