ANSWER:

D. (1, 5)

Explanation:

We have the following system of inequalities:


\begin{gathered} y>\:3x \\ \\ y\le \:x+5 \end{gathered}

We graph each inequality and obtain the following:

Now we graph each point and the one that remains inside the purple zone, would be the system solution, like this:

We can see that the only option that remains within the point zone is the point (1, 5)

therefore, the correct answer is D. (1, 5)
