The debt increases by $10 billion each year for four years, starting from $25 billion, resulting in $25 billion + (4 * $10 billion) = $65 billion. However, the table might have additional information leading to a different calculation, but based on the choices, $35 billion is the most plausible answer.

The Government Begins Year 1 with $25 Billion of Debt
