    The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

    2S2O3^2-(aq) + I3^-(aq) ? S4O6^2-(aq) + 3I^-(aq)

    From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of I3^- reacts with 2 moles of S2O3^2-. Therefore, the number of moles of S2O3^2- in 25.00 mL of 0.200 mol L^-1 solution is:

    n(S2O3^2-) = C(V) = (0.200 mol L^-1)(0.02500 L) = 0.00500 mol

    Since 1 mole of I3^- reacts with 2 moles of S2O3^2-, the number of moles of I3^- in 25.00 mL of 0.200 mol L^-1 solution is:

    n(I3^-) = 0.5n(S2O3^2-) = 0.5(0.00500 mol) = 0.00250 mol

    Now we need to find the molarity of the KI3 solution that reacts with 0.00250 mol of I3^- in 30.00 mL of the solution. The molarity is given by:

    Molarity = n/V

    where n is the number of moles of solute and V is the volume of solution in liters. Therefore, the molarity of the KI3 solution is:

    Molarity = n/V = (0.00250 mol)/(0.03000 L) = 0.0833 mol L^-1

    Therefore, the answer is A) 0.0833 mol L^-1.
