Explanation:

(a) Option (a) 3^200=(3^2)^100 = 9^100

Option (c) 4^100

Option (d) 2^300 = (2^3)^100 = 8^100

Clearly, among the option (a), (c) and (d) the exponent is same. So, the option with largest base will be largest. So, among these three options, option (a) is largest.

Now option (b) is 2^100+3^100 < 3^100 + 3^100

Or, 2^100+3^100 < 2x 3^100

And, 2x3^100 is certainly less than 3^200 i.e. option (a)

That means, option (b) is less than option (a).

∴ Option(a) is the highest.
