Final answer:

To convert the distance from school in kilometers to meters, multiply the number of kilometers (5 km) by 1,000, resulting in 5,000 meters as the correct distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given information, you live 5 kilometers from school. Since there are 1,000 meters in one kilometer, to convert the distance from kilometers to meters, you multiply the number of kilometers by 1,000.

So, 5 km = 5 × 1,000 meters = 5,000 meters.

Therefore, the correct answer to how many meters you live from school is B) 5,000 meters.
