Answer:

b. some sodium iodide will precipitate out of solution

Explanation:

We know that for salts solubility decreases as the temperature of the solution decreases. So, NaI being a salt, its solubility will surely decrease when the temperature is cooled down to 25°C from 50°C.

Thus,the undissolved sodium iodide will precipitate out of the solution.
