The smallest integer that, when squared, is less than 5 is -2. This is because (-2)2 = 4, which is less than 5. The other options either result in higher squares or do not represent the smallest integer. Specifically, 0 squared is 0, 1 squared is 1, and 2 squared is 4, none of which are smaller than -2 when considering absolute value.
