    B) 5000x^2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The exponent of x starts at 5 in the first term and decreases by 1 as the term numbers increase by 1. Hence, the 4th term will have 2 as the exponent of x. (It will have 5-2=3 as the exponent of 5.)

    Pascal's triangle tells you the coefficients of the 6 terms in the expansion will be 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1, so the 4th term has a coefficient of 10.

    The 4th term will be ...

    10 (2x) ^2 (5) ^3 = 10·4·125·x^2 = 5000x^2
