2005 AMC 12A Problem 21

The condition $\log_a b = c^{2005}$ means $b = a^{\left(c^{2005}\right)}.$ If $c \ge 2,$ then $b = a^{\left(c^{2005}\right)} \ge 2^{\left(2^{2005}\right)},$ which vastly exceeds $2005,$ so $a + b + c = 2005$ is impossible. For $c = 0:$ $b = a^0 = 1,$ so $a + 1 + 0 = 2005$ gives $(a, b, c) = (2004, 1, 0).$ For $c = 1:$ $b = a^1 = a,$ so $2a + 1 = 2005$ gives $(a, b, c) = (1002, 1002, 1).$ There are $2$ such triples. Thus, the correct answer is C.
