n = p²q, where p and q are primes.
Either p or q is 5, and we have to find which answer choice is a multiple of 25, so the correct answer should have both.
The power of p and q should be 2 or higher than that to be multiple of 25. Among the given answer choices only D is such choice.
The correct answer is D.
