A Correct answer
Explanation

In a right triangle with ∠BAC = 90°, BC = 25 cm is the hypotenuse. The median to the hypotenuse equals half the hypotenuse, so AD = BC/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 cm. This is a standard property: the median from the right angle to the hypotenuse is half the hypotenuse. Options B (24 cm), C (14.5 cm), and D (10 cm) don't match this property.
