The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Concept
The sum of binomial coefficients is $\sum_{r=0}^{n} {}^nC_r = 2^n$.

Step 2: Analysis

The expression is ${}^{100}C_0 + {}^{100}C_1 + {}^{100}C_2 + \dots + {}^{100}C_{99} + {}^{100}C_{100}$. (Note: $1 = {}^{100}C_0$ and $1 = {}^{100}C_{100}$).

Step 3: Conclusion

This is the complete sum of coefficients for $n = 100$. Sum $= 2^{100}$. Final Answer: (D)
