\mathrm{a+b+c+d=25}\text{-Equation (1)}
\mathrm{a \geq 2, b \geq 3, c \geq 4}, and \mathrm{d \geq 0}

Which can also be written as \mathrm{a-2 \geq 0, b-3 \geq 0, c-4 \geq 0}, and \mathrm{d \geq 0}

\mathrm{x_{1}=a-2, x_{2}=b-3, x_{3}=c-4}
\mathrm{a=x_{1}+2, b=x_{2}+3, c=x_{3}+4}
\mathrm{x_{1} \geq 0, x_{2} \geq 0, x_{3} \geq 0, d \geq 0}

Using it in equation (1)
\mathrm{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+d=16}

Then the number of solutions for this will be \mathrm{={ }^{16+4-1} C_{4-1}}
                                                                      \mathrm{={ }^{19} C_{3}}
                                                                      \mathrm{=969}
Option d) is correct.
