The correct answer is: $-25 y$
Given
$$
\begin{aligned}
y &=\cos ^{2}\left(\frac{5 x}{2}\right)-\sin ^{2}\left(\frac{5 x}{2}\right) \\
y &=\cos \left(2 \times \frac{5 x}{2}\right) \Rightarrow y=\cos 5 x \\
\therefore \frac{d y}{d x} &=-5 \sin 5 x \Rightarrow \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}} \\
&=-25 \cos 5 x=-25 y
\end{aligned}
$$
