A. 5

B. 4

C. 2

D. 0

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\left( {124} \right)^{372}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\left( {124} \right)^{373}} \cr & \,\,\,\mathop {{4^{372}}}\limits^ \downarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\mathop {{4^{373}}}\limits^ \downarrow \cr} $$
When 4 has odd power then unit digit is 4, when 4 has even power then unit digit is 6

41 →   4 →   4  
42 16 6  
43 64 4  
44  256  6  
4372        4373   
       
6   +   4 = 10 = 0

Last (unit) digit = 0
