It’s a matter of interpretation.
*Note that the abbreviation XL (for XXXX) appeared quite late in the Roman period, and never found universal favour
Given the use of upper case, I personally would initially assume Roman numerals*, so the answer would be C (100 in present-day decimal notation)
and for binary would be
11010X
as would be assuming that these are representations of conventional numbers, in which case the answer for number bases of five or more would be
Proposed NASA cuts to space science: “Staggering” - EarthSky
1234X
However, X +X^2 +X^3 + X^4 is a valid algebraic answer,
What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?
