D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern shows a + b = (a+b)², so 3+2=(5)²=25 and 3+4=(7)²=49. Therefore, 2+3=(5)²=25. The operation is addition followed by squaring the sum, not simple addition.

AI explanation

The pattern is (a+b)^2: 3+2=25 because (3+2)^2 = 5^2 = 25, and 3+4=49 because (3+4)^2 = 7^2 = 49. Applying the same rule, 2+3 = (2+3)^2 = 5^2 = 25. The other options don't follow this squaring pattern.
