An ammeter reads 0.025 A, this could be expressed as:

Current can be expressed in different units, and milli means thousandth. Since 1 A = 1000 mA, to convert 0.025 A to milliamps you multiply by 1000: 0.025 × 1000 = 25. So 0.025 A is 25 mA. The other options correspond to different magnitudes: 0.025 mA is 0.000025 A; 0.0025 A is 2.5 mA; 2.5 A is 2500 mA. Only 25 mA matches the original 0.025 A.
