Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
Question says that 'a' and 'b' are integers that implies we cannot have 'a' and 'b' in the form of decimals.
Now, lets expand the given equation:


Lets say:
, 
Let us consider the factor pairs of 100.

Only factor pair
gives us the integer values of 'a' and 'b'.
....equation (1)
........ equation (2)
adding equation 1 and 2, we get:



Plugging the value of 'a' in the equation 2


So the greatest possible value of 'a' is 26.
I would say C because D has multiplication instead of adding in the parenthesis and I don't think that is the "basic" way
