To expand the expression \( \log(8x^5) \) using the properties of logarithms, we apply the logarithm properties:

1. The product property: \( \log(a \cdot b) = \log a + \log b \)
2. The power property: \( \log(a^b) = b \log a \)

Applying these properties to \( \log(8x^5) \):

1. Break it down using the product property:
\[
\log(8x^5) = \log(8) + \log(x^5)
\]

2. Now apply the power property to \( \log(x^5) \):
\[
\log(8x^5) = \log(8) + 5\log(x)
\]

Thus, the final expression is:
\[
\log(8) + 5\log(x)
\]

None of the provided responses match this exactly, but the correct expanded form is \( \log(8) + 5\log(x) \). If there was an error in the options presented, please verify.
