To find the x-intercepts of the quadratic function \( y = x^2 + 6x + 5 \), we will set \( y \) to zero and solve for \( x \).

1. Set the equation to zero:
\[
0 = x^2 + 6x + 5
\]

2. Factor the quadratic:
\[
0 = (x + 1)(x + 5)
\]

3. Set each factor to zero:
\[
x + 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -1
\]
\[
x + 5 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -5
\]

Thus, the x-intercepts are \( x = -1 \) and \( x = -5 \). Therefore, the answer to Part 1 is:

- A. The x-intercept(s) is/are \( x = -1, -5 \).

### Part 2: Choose the correct graph

Now we need to match these x-intercepts with the appropriate graph. The function has x-intercepts at \( (-1, 0) \) and \( (-5, 0) \).

- Looking at Graph A:
- It has a parabola that passes through the points \( (-5, 0) \) and \( (-1, 0) \), which matches the x-intercepts we calculated.

- Graph B and C do not intersect at \( -1 \) and \( -5 \).
- Graph D is not provided in detail in this format.

Hence, the correct graph is:

- **A.** The graph of the parabola that opens upward, with x-intercepts at the points \( (-5, 0) \) and \( (-1, 0) \).

So the answers are:
- Part 1: \( x = -1, -5 \)
- Part 2: Graph A.
