The electric flux through a surface is given by the formula: Φ = E*A*cos(θ) where E is the electric field, A is the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between E and the normal to the surface. Since the electric field is constant and perpendicular to the plane, the angle between E and the normal to the plane is 0, and the cosine of 0 is 1. Therefore, the flux is simply: Φ = E*A = (1 N/C)(50 cm x 50 cm) = 2500 N·m^2/C = 25 N·m²/C. Thus, the correct answer is (C).
