Written solution:
The last digit must be 00, because the number is divisible by 55 and all digits are even. The thousands digit can be 2,4,6,2,4,6, or 88, and each of the hundreds and tens digits has 55 choices. Thus there are 4⋅5⋅5=1004\cdot5\cdot5=100 such integers. Thus, B is the correct answer.
