Correct Answer: $5^{100}$
Solution : The HCF of the exponentials 250, 150, 100, and 200 is 50. So we can write: $2^{250} = 2^{5\times 50} = (2^5)^{50} = 32^{50}$ $3^{150} = 3^{3\times 50} = (3^3)^{50}=27^{50}$ $5^{100} = 5^{2\times 50} = (5^2)^{50} = 25^{50}$ $4^{200} = 4^{4\times 50} = (4^4)^{50} = 256^{50}$ It can be seen that $25^{50}$ or $5^{100}$ is the smallest. Hence, the correct answer is $5^{100}$.
