e. 2

To simplify the expression, first divide the coefficients: 5/1 = 5. Then subtract the exponents with the same base: 4 - 3 = 1 for the 'a' term, and 2 - 1 = 1 for the 'b' term. Therefore, the simplified expression is 5a * b^(1). Since any variable raised to the power of 1 is just the variable itself, the simplified exponent of c in the expression is 2.
