The whole question relies on probability unless you say it's an impossible answer due to infinite iterations during the question.

The only things we know about the question are the number of possible outcomes: 4, having to choose a possible outcome

thus, unless you look at additional evidence for random decisions made on a multiple choice test, there is, as you've said a 1 in 4 or 25% chance of randomly picking an answer whether it be right or wrong. Now the probability of choosing 25% is both A and D out of 4 possible outcomes, therefore 50%, resulting as said: Answer B.

Though I do agree these questions or paradox's as some people see it do always create a discussion.

(Reminds me of another paradox I heard)
