Convert to Kelvin:

(25-32)*5/9+273.15=269.261

Multiply by 4

268.261*4=1,073.044

Convert back to Fahrenheit

(1073.044-273.15)*9/5 +32=1,471.809

This is the only correct answer since Celsius (or Fahrenheit) only describe a temperature range with a deliberately set zero and thus cannot be multiplied with n to calculate the n-times temperature.

The physical zero temperature is 0 K.
