Answer: The correct option is C. The term 5ba is the like term of 25ab.

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms which contains same variables and same exponents(power) are called like terms.

In the given term we have a constant 25 and two variables a and b with exponent 1.

In option A, we have only constant term therefore it is not a like term of 25ab.

In option B, we have a constant term and single variable a therefore it is not a like term of 25ab.

In option D, we have a constant term and single variable b therefore it is not a like term of 25ab.
