(a) 3

(b) 1

(c) or 3 depending upon the number of times x appears in the power.

(d) Can't be determined.

starting from 5! we get trailing zeros at the end, hence we need to sum up only 1!+2!+3!+4! which is 33 with 3 as a unit's digit.

The required is X^X^X^X........infinity or abdcef .....3^abdcef .....3^abdcef .....3^abdcef .....3^ ... infinity

Since the cycle of 3 is 1-5 coefficients it will be not difficult to determine the last digit (see below)
3^1=3
3^2=9
3^3=27
3^4=81
3^5=243

because the numbers ending with a unit's digit 3 are all divisible by the cycles of 3 with only two options of 3 and 7 as unit's digit depending on the number of tens in the numbers. If the ten's number of X is odd, then the unit's digit is 3. If the ten's number of X is even, then the unit's digit will be 7.

when the unit's digit is 7 the next number X raised to the power of X with the unit's digit of 3 will return only 3 or 7 as the unit's digit, depending again on the number of odd or even tens'.

only option c suits here, does this option contain 7 or 3? the question is addressed to @hareesh860. If so you need to update the post.
