Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. The last digit is the remainder modulo 10. The last digits of 7,72,73,747, 7^{2}, 7^{3}, 7^{4} are 7, 9, 3, 1, and then they repeat.

  2. 35=4×8+335 = 4 \times 8 + 3, so 7357^{35} ends like 73=3437^{3} = 343: in 3.

Worth noting

9 is the last digit of 727^{2}, the second in the cycle, not the third.
