B Correct answer
Explanation

Substituting values: AB = 5 x 0 = 0, EE = 2 x 2 = 4, ED = 10 x 2 = 20, AC = 5 x 2 = 10. The expression becomes: 0 + 4 - (20)^0 + (10)^2 = 0 + 4 - 1 + 100 = 103. Note that any number to the power of 0 equals 1, and any number to the power of 2 equals its square.

AI explanation

Substituting the given values: AB = 5×0 = 0, EE = 2×2 = 4, ED = 2×10 = 20 so (ED)^B = 20^0 = 1, and AC = 5×2 = 10 so (AC)^E = 10² = 100. Combining: 0 + 4 − 1 + 100 = 103, matching basic rules that any nonzero number raised to the power 0 equals 1.
