325 = 100*3 + 10*2 + 5
648 = 100*6 + 10*4 + 8
Generally:
Three-digit integer XYZ = 100X + 10Y + Z

Since BA + AB + AB = CAA, we get:
(10B+A) + (10A+B) + (10A+B) = 100C + 10A + A
12B + 21A = 100C + 11A
12B + 10A = 100C
12B + 10A = MULTIPLE OF 100
Since B and A are digits, the left side will yield a multiple of 100 only if B=5 and A=4, with the result that 12B+10A = (12*5) + (10*4) = 100.
Thus, A=4.

The correct answer is D.

Equating the units digits of BA + AB + AB and CAA gives either A + B + B = A or A + B + B = 10 + A. So, B = 5 or B = 0.
Since BA is a two-digit integer, we must have B = 5.
After carrying from the addition of the units digits, adding the tens digits yields B + A + A + 1 = 5 + A + A + 1 = 10 + A or A = 4.

Therefore, the answer is D.
Answer: D
