As for 25...I would have went with C as well, and I'm not sure why D is the correct answer.  Anyone else?

Since things are in parallel, you cannot tell.  In theory, the maximum amount of time it could take is 200ms (top loop has the full 100ms before writing to the variable and then the bottom loop has to finish 50ms before reading the variable again, but not stopping for another 50ms).  I therefore would have to conclude D.

If you want to get really technical, you could press the Stop button and then Windows goes into LaLa Land and your code is not ran for another second.  This might be splitting hairs though.

I thought it would be within 150ms also, but running and stopping this snippet a couple times, it is easy to get a number over 150ms. I'm going for the CLAD today, so I wish I understood this,

Good thing this is for the CLD-R then.  You won't see any questions like this for your CLAD.

And this is why you shouldn't over think exam questions.  There are many questions that when looked at closer the real answer is, "I need more information".
