<h3>Answer: Choice C 
</h3>
The open circle means we do not include the endpoint, hence the use of a greater than symbol. If we were to include the endpoint, then we'd have greater than or equal to. We can rule out choice B due to this reasoning.
The ray pointing to the right indicates we are talking about x values larger than 5, so we can rule out choice A and conclude the answer is C.
Side note: The notation is saying "x is a real number"
