Rewrite the expression as:
dy/dx = 2x(5y-4)

Get all the y terms on the left, x terms on the right
dy/(5y-4) = 2xdx

Integrate both sides
(1/5)ln(5y-4) = x^2 + C
ln(5y-4) = 5x^2 + 5C
Solve for y

5y-4 = e^(5x^2 + 5C)
5y = e^(5x^2 + 5C) + 4
y = (e^(5x^2 + 5C) + 4)/5

We know that y(0) = 1, so we can solve for C
1 = (e^(5*0^2 + 5C) + 4)/5
1 = (e^(5C) + 4)/5
5 = e^(5C) + 4
1 = e^(5C)
C = 0

y = (e^(5x^2) + 4)/5

So the answer should be (h)

dy/dx=2x(5y-4)

dy/(5y-4)=2xdx

integrate both sides

1/5ln(|5y-4|)=x^2+c

ln((5y-4)^1/5)=x^2+c

(5y-4)^1/5=Ce^(x^2)
5y-4=De^(5x^2)+4
y=1/5(De^(5x^2)+4)
1=1/5((De^0)+4)
1=1/5(D+4)

5=D+4
D=1

so Y=1/5(e^5x^2+4) (H)
