To find the value of \( k \) in the table that satisfies the equation \( -x^2 + 5x = -x + 5 \), we first need to rearrange the equation:

\[
-x^2 + 5x + x - 5 = 0
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
-x^2 + 6x - 5 = 0
\]

Multiplying through by -1 gives us:

\[
x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0
\]

Next, we can factor this quadratic equation:

\[
(x - 1)(x - 5) = 0
\]

Setting each factor equal to zero gives us the solutions:

\[
x - 1 = 0 \implies x = 1
\]
\[
x - 5 = 0 \implies x = 5
\]

Now, we check the values of \( k \) given in the options. The quadratic equations have solutions of \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 5 \).

Checking the provided options for \( k \):
- -6
- 4
- **1**
- 0

Since one of the solutions we found is \( x = 1 \), the value of \( k \) that is a solution to the equation \( -x^2 + 5x = -x + 5 \) is:

\[
\boxed{1}
\]
