The correct answer is F) If K represents the population of Oklahoma recorded by the 2000 census, 5K represents the population of Florida.

This is because "5K" is the same as 5 * K, and that means 5 * population of Oklahoma. This is correct as the population of Florida was 5 * the population of Oklahoma.
