To solve the equation \( 4n - 5 = 15 \), follow these steps:

1. **Add 5 to both sides** of the equation to isolate the term with \( n \):
\[
4n - 5 + 5 = 15 + 5
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
4n = 20
\]

2. **Divide both sides** by 4 to solve for \( n \):
\[
n = \frac{20}{4}
\]
So,
\[
n = 5
\]

Thus, the solution is \( n = 5 \).

The correct answer is **A. 5**.
