The correct answer is: $\frac{16}{625}$
The number of digits on unit place of any number $=10$
$\therefore$
$$
n(S)=10
$$
The necessary condition for becoming the digits $1,3,5$ or 7 at the unit place of product of four numbers that the digits $1,3,5$ or 7 at unit place of every number.
$$
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & n(A)=4 \\
\therefore & P(A)=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}
\end{array}
$$
So, required $y=\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{4}=\frac{16}{625}$
