To determine which option results in 185 when applying the properties of negative integer exponents, we need to evaluate each expression one by one.

1. **\(8^{-5}\)**:
\[
8^{-5} = \frac{1}{8^5}
\]
This does not equal 185.

2. **\(5^{-8}\)**:
\[
5^{-8} = \frac{1}{5^8}
\]
This does not equal 185.

3. **\(8^5\)**:
\[
8^5 = 32768
\]
This does not equal 185.

4. **\(1/8^{-5}\)**:
\[
\frac{1}{8^{-5}} = 8^5
\]
We already calculated \(8^5\) and found it equals 32768, which does not equal 185.

None of the options directly result in 185. Please double-check the calculation or the initial question as none of the given expressions results in 185 according to the properties of negative integer exponents.
