Answer:

\(2\sqrt{5}\)

C is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is \(\sqrt{180}-\sqrt{125}+\sqrt{5}\)

In order to simplify the expression, we find the factors.

180 =6 ×6×5

125 = 5 ×5×5

Hence, we can rewrite the expression as

\(\sqrt{6\times6\times5}-\sqrt{5\times5\times5}+\sqrt{5}\)

We can further write this expression as

\(\sqrt{6^2\times5}-\sqrt{5^2\times5}+\sqrt{5}\)

Now, we can use the rule \(\sqrt{x^2}=x\)

\(6\sqrt{5}-5\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{5}\)

Finally, we can combine these like terms

\(2\sqrt{5}\)

Hence, C is the correct option.
