To calculate the volume of a right rectangular prism, you multiply the area of the base by the height. In this case, the volume is given as 50 cubic units and the height is given as 2.
So, to find the area of the base, you divide the volume (50 cubic units) by the height (2):
Area of base = Volume ÷ Height
Area of base = 50 ÷ 2
Area of base = 25 square units
Therefore, the correct answer is "25 square units."
