D. √5

Let's first simplify the equation sqrt (75) / sqrt (15) Factor it (sqrt (3) sqrt (5) sqrt (5)) / (sqrt (3) sqrt (5)) Now cancel the sqrt (3) and sqrt (5) on both top and bottom, giving sqrt (5) / 1 sqrt (5) So we're just left with the square root of 5. Checking the available options, you see that D. √5 is an exact match. So that's your answer.
