To find the correct table that shows the total number of movies Sam rented after each month, we need to calculate the cumulative total of movies rented over the five months.

Sam rents 5 movies each month, so:

- After 1 month: 5 movies rented (Total = 5)
- After 2 months: 5 + 5 = 10 movies rented (Total = 10)
- After 3 months: 10 + 5 = 15 movies rented (Total = 15)
- After 4 months: 15 + 5 = 20 movies rented (Total = 20)
- After 5 months: 20 + 5 = 25 movies rented (Total = 25)

Now let's compare this calculation with the options provided:

A.
Month 1 2 3 4 5
Movies 5 5 5 5 5 (This shows monthly rentals, not cumulative totals)

B.
Month 1 2 3 4 5
Movies 0 5 10 15 20 (This should start at 5 for the first month, not 0)

C.
Month 1 2 3 4 5
Movies 5 10 15 20 25 (This matches our calculations)

D.
Month 1 2 3 4 5
Movies 5 10 20 40 80 (Incorrect, does not follow the correct addition pattern)

The correct answer is **C**.
