Answer:

A


Step-by-step explanation:

For factoring, if we can ever right a factor as  [tex](a)^2[/tex] and another as  [tex](b)^2[/tex]  with a MINUS in between them, then the technique of "difference in two squares" is perfect!


From the problem shown, we can actually do this (shown below):

[tex]x^2-25\\=(x)^2-(5)^2[/tex]


The rule is  [tex]a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)[/tex]


Thus the problem reduces to:

[tex](x)^2-(5)^2\\=(x+5)(x-5)[/tex]


We have use "difference of two squares" here, hence answer choice A is right.
