You'll always give the wrong answer.
The actual answer though, with these possibilities, is 37,5%. Considering you can't choose that --> there is not an option for the correct answer. Thus resulting in a failed paradox.

If 37,5% was an actual option then it would've been a proper paradox.

why would 37.5% be the correct answer? doesn't make sense. Since there's TECHNICALLY only 3 answers, the correct answer is 33.3% repeating. iso where your math was coming from as i would wanna see it from your point of view.

lol you guys are thinking to hard about it, you were supposed to choose a random answer, not think about the answer.

if it wasn't for the pick randomly part this would be a straight forward paradox. adding a wild card factor just complicates it to no end.

50%. Because if it was any other question, two of the questions (or 50% of them) are the "correct" answer. If you were to guess at random on a 4 choice question, you would have a 25% chance of getting the correct answer. Therefore the answer is 25%, and you have a 50% chance of getting it.
