    E) 5 seconds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know that 5 robots can manufacture 5 cups in 5 seconds.

    R1, R2, R3, R4, R5: 5 cups in 5 seconds

    If we have 25 robots we can divide these 25 robots in 5 groups having 5 robots in each group. And each group will manufacture 5 cups in 5 seconds.

    Team 1 - R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 : 5 cups in 5 seconds

    Team 2 - R6, R7, R8, R9, R10: 5 cups in 5 seconds

    Team 3 - R11, R12, R13, R14, R15: 5 cups in 5 seconds

    Team 4 - R16, R17, R18, R19, R20: 5 cups in 5 seconds

    Team 5 - R21, R22, R23, R24, R25: 5 cups in 5 secods

    Then we have:

    total of robots: 25 total of cups: 25 total of seconds: 5

    Meaning that if we have the 25 robots working simultaneously, it will take 5 seconds to each of the 5 teams (being a total of 25 robtos) to manufacture a total of 25 cups.
