IMO D

D is the only option in which we get "5" twice , making it a multiple of 25.

assuming its p^2 * q
either q=5 or p=5
a)p^2 - if q=5 then not valid
b)q^2 - if p=5, then not valid
c) pq - if p=5, then multiple of 5 and not 25
d) p^2*q^2 - if p=5, then multiple of 25. if q=5, then multiple of 25. valid
e) p^3*q - if q=5, then multiple of 5 and not 25.
IMO D
