None. It’s a liar paradox.

It’s B.

There are 4 answers, so you have a 25% chance of guessing correctly. But since 25% is the answer twice your actual odds of picking one of the two correct answers becomes 50%.

But then 25% isn’t the answer, is it?

e. none of the above; its 33%

You have a 1 in 4 shot if they are all unique.
There are 2 answers that are the same
Therefore you have a 1 in 3 shot or 33% of randomly picking the correct answer.

No, because there are still 4 possibilities, it’s just 2 of them are the same. So you have a 2/4 shot of the correct answer as opposed to a 1/4 shot, ergo it’s a 50% chance you’ll choose the correct answer. Statistics isn’t your friend, I don’t believe.

You have a 25% chance of guessing correctly if the answer is something other than 25%; and you have a 50% chance if the answer is 25%.

100%

It can’t be 25% because there are 2 choices of 25% making the chance 50%
It can’t be 50% because there is only one 50% making the chance 25%
The actual chance of being correct is 0% therefore only correct answer is not to choose.
