B Correct answer
Explanation

This is a classic riddle - you can only subtract 5 from 25 once, because after the first subtraction, the result is 20, not 25. The question is worded to make you think about repeated operations, but the phrasing refers to the specific operation of subtracting 5 from 25 itself.
