Solution

- Let us solve the question first before choosing the option:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5^4}{25} \\ \\ =\frac{5^4}{5^2}\text{ \lparen Since }5^2=25) \\ \\ =5^{4-2} \\ \\ =5^2=25 \end{gathered}[/tex]

- Thus, the correct answer is:

By simplifying 2 to 5² to make both powers base five, and subtracting the exponents
