Correct answer: C
Solution: Convert the octal number 2550276 to hexadecimal by going through binary.
Octal digits: 2 5 5 0 2 7 6
Convert each octal digit to 3‑bit binary: 2→010, 5→101, 5→101, 0→000, 2→010, 7→111, 6→110
Concatenate: 010101101000010111110. Pad on the left with three zeros to make 24 bits: 000010101101000010111110
Group into 4‑bit nibbles: 0000 1010 1101 0000 1011 1110
Map nibbles to hex: 0000→0, 1010→A, 1101→D, 0000→0, 1011→B, 1110→E → 0AD0BE
Drop the leading zero to get AD0BE. Note: the middle character is the digit zero '0', not the letter 'O'.
Therefore the equivalent hexadecimal notation is AD0BE.
