To rotate a point \((x, y)\) by 90 degrees clockwise around the origin, the new coordinates can be calculated using the transformation rule:

\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)
\]

For the point \((2, 5)\):

1. Identify \(x = 2\) and \(y = 5\).
2. Apply the rotation rule:
\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x) \implies (5, -2)
\]

Therefore, the new coordinate after a 90 degree clockwise rotation of the point \((2, 5)\) is \((5, -2)\).

The correct response is \((5, -2)\).
