D Correct answer
Explanation

The outer loop runs through 5 input observations. The inner DO loop runs for year values 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 (5 iterations). Because the output statement is inside the DO loop, it outputs 5 observations for each of the 5 input rows, yielding 25 observations.
