(C) The expression is $(1 + x + x^2 + \dots + x^{100})^3 = (\frac{1-x^{101}}{1-x})^3 = (1-x^{101})^3(1-x)^{-3}$.Expanding this,we get $(1 - 3x^{101} +

(C) The expression is $(1 + x + x^2 + \dots + x^{100})^3 = (\frac{1-x^{101}}{1-x})^3 = (1-x^{101})^3(1-x)^{-3}$.Expanding this,we get $(1 - 3x^{101} + 3x^{202} - x^{303}) \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \binom{n+3-1}{3-1} x^n$.We are looking for the coefficient of $x^{100}$.From the expansion,only the term $1 \times \binom{100+2}{2} x^{100}$ contributes to $x^{100}$.Thus,the coefficient is $\binom{102}{2} = ^{102}C_2$.
