In general,


x^n=x\cdot x\cdot x\cdot\ldots\cdot x\to n\text{ times x}

Therefore, in our case,


\begin{gathered} ((1)/(5))^4=(1)/(5)\cdot(1)/(5)\cdot(1)/(5)\cdot(1)/(5)=(1)/(25)\cdot(1)/(25)=(1)/(625) \\ \Rightarrow((1)/(5))^4=(1)/(625) \end{gathered}

Thus, the answer is the second option (top to bottom)
