Solution:

Given the inequality:


5m+1\leq4

To evaluate the values of m that satisfies the inequality, we have


\begin{gathered} 5m+1\leq4 \\ add\text{ -1 to both sides} \\ 5m+1-1\leq4-1 \\ \Rightarrow5m\leq3 \\ divide\text{ both sides by the coefficient of m, which is 5} \\ (5m)/(5)\leq(3)/(5) \\ \Rightarrow m\leq0.6 \end{gathered}

Hence, the value(s) of m that apply to the inequality in the given options is


m=0

The correct option is
