Solution

The perfect square trinomial from the options given is A. 4x2 - 20xy + 25y2.

Here's why:

A perfect square trinomial is a trinomial that can be factored into the square of a binomial. In other words, it's the square of a binomial.

The general form of a perfect square trinomial is (ax)² - 2abx + b² or (ax)² + 2abx + b².

In option A, we have 4x2 - 20xy + 25y2.

This can be written as (2x)² - 2*(2x)*(5y) + (5y)², which fits the form of a perfect square trinomial.

Therefore, option A is the perfect square trinomial.
