Answer

Final Answer: The sum of \(F(50)\) and \(F(51)\) is \(F(52)\), so the correct answer is \(\boxed{A}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The Fibonacci sequence is defined as \(F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)\) for \(n > 1\), and \(F(0) = 0\), \(F(1) = 1\).

Step 2 :Two large numbers of the Fibonacci sequence are \(F(50)=12,586,269,025\) and \(F(51)=20,365,011,074\).

Step 3 :If these two numbers are added together, we should get \(F(52)\) according to the definition of the Fibonacci sequence.

Step 4 :So, \(F(50) + F(51) = F(52)\).

Step 5 :Final Answer: The sum of \(F(50)\) and \(F(51)\) is \(F(52)\), so the correct answer is \(\boxed{A}\).
