Note: NTA officially dropped this question in the final answer key. Mark option D for Bonus Marks.

The following diagram shows a Zener diode as a voltage regulator. The Zener diode is rated at $V_{Z} = 5 V$ and the desired current in load is $5 mA$ . The unregulated voltage source can supply upto $25 V$ . Considering the Zener diode can withstand four times of the load current, the value of resistor $R_{S}$ (shown in circuit) should be ______ $Ω$ .

A
$4000$
B
$10$
C
$100$
D
$1000$
