Answer

If the base is negative and the exponent is odd, the result is negative.

(35)5=(3)555=(3)×(3)×(3)×(3)×(3)5×5×5×5×5=2433125\Big(\dfrac{-3}{5}\Big)^5 \\[1em] = \dfrac{(-3)^5}{5^5} \\[1em] = \dfrac{(-3) \times (-3) \times (-3) \times (-3) \times (-3)}{5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5} \\[1em] = \dfrac{-243}{3125}

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
