Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the remainder when a number is divided by 5, we only need to look at the units digit of the number.

In this case, the units digit of the given number is 0, which is divisible by 5.

Therefore, the remainder is 0 when the given number is divided by 5.

Since 0 is not one of the answer choices, we need to look at the options and find the closest number to 0 (in absolute value).

3 is the closest number to 0, and hence the answer is C - 3.
