**Problem Analysis**
To solve this problem, we need to convert the given decimal numbers into fractions and then compare them.
**Solution**
To convert 0.005 into a fraction, we can write it as 5/1000.
To convert 0.25 into a fraction, we can write it as 25/100.
Now, we need to compare these fractions.
**Comparing Fractions**
To compare fractions, we can cross-multiply.
For fraction 5/1000 and fraction 25/100:
5 * 100 = 500
25 * 1000 = 25000
Since 500 is less than 25000, we can conclude that 5/1000 is less than 25/100.
Therefore, 0.005 is less than 0.25.
**Finding the Correct Answer**
From the given options, we need to find the option that represents a number less than 0.25.
- Option A: 0.2 = 2/10 = 20/100. Since 20/100 is greater than 25/100, option A is incorrect.
- Option B: 0.02 = 2/100. Since 2/100 is less than 25/100, option B is correct.
- Option C: 2.02 = 202/100. Since 202/100 is greater than 25/100, option C is incorrect.
- Option D: 0.002 = 2/1000. Since 2/1000 is less than 25/100, option D is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: 0.02.
**Conclusion**
The decimal number 0.005 can be written as 5/1000 and the decimal number 0.25 can be written as 25/100. By comparing the fractions, we can determine that 5/1000 is less than 25/100. The correct answer from the given options is option B: 0.02, which is less than 0.25.
