To rewrite \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) using a rational exponent, we need to focus specifically on the term \( \sqrt{3} \).

The square root of 3 can be expressed with a rational exponent as:
\[
\sqrt{3} = 3^{1/2}
\]

Therefore, \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) can be rewritten as:
\[
5 - 3^{1/2}
\]

However, if the question is specifically about how to express \( \sqrt{3} \) with a rational exponent (regardless of the entire expression), we would denote it as \( 3^{1/2} \).

Among the provided options, the one that expresses \( 5^{\text{something}} \) with a rational exponent doesn't actually apply here because \( 5 \) is not related to \( \sqrt{3} \) in terms of manipulation.

If you are looking for an expression that includes the square root in a simplified rational exponent form:
- The correct representation of \( \sqrt{3} \) is \( 3^{1/2} \).

There is no option that directly corresponds to \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) being rewritten accurately without further context.

Based on your question and the given options, the best option to rewrite \( \sqrt{3} \) using a rational exponent would be:

**\( 3^{1/2} \)**

However, there's no explicit option for that. Given the provided responses, if you're looking for an expression related to \( 5 \), the closest relevant choice is:

**\( 5^{1/3} \)**

This option, while not directly relevant to \( \sqrt{3} \), uses a rational exponent format and is one of the suggested options given.

If your question specifically involves expressing \( 5 - \sqrt{3} \) or \( \sqrt{3} \) with rational exponents and looking specifically for \( 5^{\text{something}} \), then **\( 5^{1/3} \)** is technically the best choice from the options provided, even though it doesn't alter the premise of \( \sqrt{3} \).
