\\ f \left( x \right) =1-x+x^{2}-x^{3}+ \ldots -x^{99}+x^{100} \\ \\ f^{'} \left( x \right) =0-1+2x-3x^{2}+ \ldots -99x^{98}+100x^{99} \\ \\ f^{'} \left( 1 \right) =-1+2-3+4- \ldots -99+100 \\ \\ = \left( 2-1 \right) + \left( 4-3 \right) + \left( 6-5 \right) + \ldots \left( 100-99 \right) =1+1+ \ldots +1~~ \left( \text{50 times} \right) =50 \\ \\

Hence, the answer is option D
