Answer: B) 4


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of equally sized squares =25

The the probability of picking a point at random in one of the shaded squares=0.16

We know  that the probability of any event is given by:

[tex]Probability=\frac{\text{number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}[/tex]

[tex]\\\Rightarrow0.16=\frac{\text{number of shaded squares}}{\text{total squares}}\\\Rightarrow\ 0.16=\frac{\text{number of shaded squares}}{25}\\\Rightarrow\text{number of shaded squares}=0.16\times25=4[/tex]

Hence, the number of shaded squares= 4.
