Unit's digit of (71)^5 = Unit's digit of (1)^5 = 1
Unit's digit of (46)^3 = Unit's digit of (6)^3 = 6
Unit's digit of (103)^4 = Unit's digit of (3)^4 = 1
Unit's digit of (1088)^3 = Unit's digit of (8)^3 = 2

Hence, unit's digit of [(71)^5]*[(46)^3]*[(103)^4] + (57)*[(1088)^3]
= unit's digit of (1*6*1 + 57*2)
= unit's digit of (1*6*1 + 7*2)
= unit's digit of (6 + 4)
= unit's digit of 10
= 0

The correct answer is A.
