This is someone else's answer I c&ped, thought they explained it well:
If the correct answer is 25%, then because there are two 25% options, the chance should be 2/4 or 50%.
But since only 1 out of the 4 options is 50%, the chance of choosing 50% randomly should be 1/4 or 25%.
And you get stuck in an infinite loop.
If it was 0%, then the chance of selecting the 0% option randomly is 1/4 or 25%.
And we're back to the same problem

You could also talk about phrasing:
"This Question" doesn't reference those answers. We know the show hosts 4 answers to each question, so the answer could be argued to be A or D - 25%, despite the answers given here not reflecting that.
Or if you take "This Question" to infer "With these specific answers", you could argue it's C - 50%, because 50% of the answers are the correct answer when talking about any given question on the show.

Given that they're all wrong, it's curious that the two answers that's it's oscillating between are the ones that aren't the correct 0%.

Here is how I approached it; Go over each possible answer, and mark them yes or no. Once you are done, you should have answer no to every single choice, leaving you with 0% And then you simply choose the correct answer. Your choice will not be a guess. As you can never guess the correct answer.
