the decimal of 16 could be either 0.16 or 16.0

No, it could not!

0.16 is 16/100 which is NOT the same as 16.

16.0 is 16 accurate to the nearest tenth: you have no justification to assume that level of precision.

The correct answer is 16: you do not need to have a decimal point for a number to be a decimal. Decimal refers to the fact that the value of a digit in any position is ten times the value of same digit to its right. The word decimal refers to the factor ten that appears in the previous sentence.
