To determine which solution has the highest concentration of salt, we can calculate the concentration for each solution using the formula:

\[
\text{Concentration} = \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{volume of solvent}}
\]

Concentrations for each solution:

- **Solution A:**
\[
\text{Concentration} = \frac{5.0 \, \text{g}}{50.0 \, \text{ml}} = 0.1 \, \text{g/ml}
\]

- **Solution B:**
\[
\text{Concentration} = \frac{5.0 \, \text{g}}{75.0 \, \text{ml}} \approx 0.0667 \, \text{g/ml}
\]

- **Solution C:**
\[
\text{Concentration} = \frac{5.0 \, \text{g}}{100.0 \, \text{ml}} = 0.05 \, \text{g/ml}
\]

- **Solution D:**
\[
\text{Concentration} = \frac{5.0 \, \text{g}}{125.0 \, \text{ml}} = 0.04 \, \text{g/ml}
\]

Based on these calculations, **Solution A** has the highest concentration of salt at **0.1 g/ml**.
