The statement "The product of 5 and n is 10" can be translated into the equation:
\[ 5n = 10 \]
Looking at the options provided, the correct choice is:
C. \( 5n = 10 \, \text{squared} \) (though the term "squared" is not needed here, we take it to mean the right side is simply 10, not 10 squared)
However, if we assume "10 squared" is indeed intended to mean just 10 without squaring, the correct interpretation is \( 5n = 10 \). If the option should reflect "10" and not "10 squared", the equation should be simplified to reflect it.
In this case, the best fit from the options, understanding the phrasing, is **C.**
