The correct answer is: $A \subseteq B$
We have,
$\begin{aligned} A &=5^{n}-4 n-1=(1+4)^{n}-4 n-1 \\ &=\left({ }^{n} C_{0}+{ }^{n} C_{1} \times 4+{ }^{n} C_{2} \times 4^{2}+\ldots+{ }^{n} C_{n} \times 4^{n}\right) \\ &=4^{2}\left({ }^{n} C_{2}+{ }^{n} C_{3} \times 4+\ldots+{ }^{n} C_{n} \times 4^{n-2}\right) \end{aligned}$
$\therefore$ A contains some multiples of 16
Clearly, $B$ contains all multiples of 16 including $0 .$
$A \subseteq B$
