The correct description of the dilation of triangle ABC with a scale factor of 5 and a center point of dilation at the origin (0, 0) is:

**Triangle A′B′C′ is 5 times as large as triangle ABC and is 5 times as far from the center point of dilation.**

In this scenario, each vertex of triangle ABC will be moved away from the origin by a factor of 5, making triangle A′B′C′ larger than triangle ABC, and the vertices will also be 5 times further from the origin than the original triangle's vertices.
