It's pretty cool, a self referential paradox that has no right answer.

If the paradox causes your chances to guess correctly to become 0% you can choose B. As you are not guessing, but choosing the correct answer.

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

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%.
