Answer:

Yes, Sabrina is correct.

Explanation:

25 is the square of a prime number. Prime numbers only have 2 factors: the prime number and 1. 5*5=25. 5^2=25.

In this case, 5 is the prime number as the factors of 5 are 5 and 1.

25 has 3 factors since its factors are the same as of 5 and the additional factor is 25.

Hence, the factors of 25 are 25, 5, and 1, a total of 3 factors.
