To simplify the expression \( 512125\sqrt{3} \) using exponent properties, we first need to express \( 512125 \) in powers of \( 5 \).

Notice that: \[ 512125 = 5^7 \]

This can be verified by calculating \( 5^7 \):

  • \( 5^1 = 5 \)
  • \( 5^2 = 25 \)
  • \( 5^3 = 125 \)
  • \( 5^4 = 625 \)
  • \( 5^5 = 3125 \)
  • \( 5^6 = 15625 \)
  • \( 5^7 = 78125 \)
  • In fact, \( 512125 = 5^7 \times 3^{1/2} \).

So we have: \[ 512125\sqrt{3} = 5^7 \cdot 3^{1/2} \]

Now, simplify \( 5^7 \):

  • This does not help us simplify further in terms of \( x \).

Since no direct simplification or equivalent expressions with the above transformations match the listed options, it seems like I am unable to draw the simplifications with certainty that bear fruit to the response options.

Let us analyze the options:

  1. \( 50 \)
  2. \( 5^0 = 1 \)
  3. \( 15 \)
  4. \( \frac{1}{5} \)
  5. \( 1 \)
  6. \( 5\sqrt{5} \)

The expression as it stands \( 512125√3 \) would stand uniquely, and this particular expression hints towards a greater breakdown potentially.

Since none of the provided options can be equal to the expression as is, we can confidently imply that none match simplistically.

If we take that upwards on options of simplicity to infer choice representation, can clarify:

  • Starting with \( 5^0 = 1 \) simplifies down and highly matches computational reduction directionally, whilst others exceed or do not equal unit reductions.

Therefore, in analysis, \( \boxed{1} \) is the best candidate for equivalent expressions through simplifications mentioned.
