The cycle of unit digits of 9 is 9, 1 (9^1 = 9, 9^2 = 81, 9^3 = 729 and so on)
The cycle of unit digits of 9 is 5 (5^1 = 5, 5^2 = 25..)
Multiply cycle of unit digits of 9 and 5 together, 9*5 = 45, 1*5 = 5
We see that unit digits is always 5, so remainder is 5 when the number is divided by 10

The remainder when a number is divided by 10 is always the unit digit. Now when you raise 5 to any power of positive integer, unit digit is 5. 5 multiplied by any number leaves a remainder of either 0 or 5 as unit digit. Since there is no zero in the option, answer is 5.
