<reasoning>

Apply the quotient property of radicals

Using the Quotient Property of Radicals knowledge point
\[
\frac{\sqrt{25x^3y^3}}{\sqrt{xy}} = \sqrt{\frac{25x^3y^3}{xy}}
\]

Simplify the radicand

Using the Algebraic Simplification knowledge point
\[
\frac{25x^3y^3}{xy} = 25x^2y^2
\]

Simplify the square root

Using the Radical Simplification knowledge point
\[
\sqrt{25x^2y^2} = \sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{x^2} \cdot \sqrt{y^2} = 5xy
\]
Since \(x \ge 0\) and \(y \ge 0\), we have \(\sqrt{x^2} = x\) and \(\sqrt{y^2} = y\).

Rationalize and match options

Using the Radical Simplification knowledge point
\[
5xy = 5 \cdot \sqrt{x^2y^2} = 5xy\sqrt{1}
\]
Let's re-evaluate the options to find the matching form:

• Option 1: \(5\sqrt{xy}\)
• Option 2: \(25\sqrt{xy}\)
• Option 3: \(\sqrt{5xy}\)
• Option 4: \(5xy\sqrt{xy}\)

Wait, let's re-examine the image expression:
The numerator is \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) or is it \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) divided by \(\sqrt{xy}\)?
Let's calculate:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{25x^3y^3}}{\sqrt{xy}} = \sqrt{25x^2y^2} = 5xy
\]
If the expression is \(\frac{\sqrt{25x^3y^3}}{\sqrt{xy}}\), the simplified form is \(5xy\).
Let's look at the options:

• \(5\sqrt{xy}\)
• \(25\sqrt{xy}\)
• \(\sqrt{5xy}\)
• \(5xy\sqrt{xy}\)

Wait, if the numerator is \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) and the denominator is \(\sqrt{xy}\), then:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{25x^3y^3}}{\sqrt{xy}} = \frac{5xy\sqrt{xy}}{\sqrt{xy}} = 5xy
\]
But \(5xy\) is not listed directly. Let's look closely at the fourth option: \(5xy\sqrt{xy}\).
Is the numerator actually \(\sqrt{25x^4y^4}\)? No, it looks like \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) or maybe the denominator is just \(\sqrt{xy}\) and the numerator is \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\).
Wait, if the numerator is \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) and we simplify it directly:
\[
\sqrt{25x^3y^3} = 5xy\sqrt{xy}
\]
If the question was just "What is \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) in simplest form?", then the answer is \(5xy\sqrt{xy}\).
Let's look at the image again. The text says:
"What is \(\frac{\sqrt{25x^3y^3}}{\sqrt{xy}}\)"? No, the fraction line is actually just a division line, or is it just \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) with a cursor or a line?
Ah! The line under \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) is a blue underline from the interface, and the "\(\sqrt{xy}\)" is actually a handwritten or digital annotation, or is it part of the text?
No, looking at the font, "What is \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) in simplest form? Assume \(x \ge 0\) and \(y \ge 0\)."
The line under \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) and the \(\sqrt{xy}\) written below it are handwritten/drawn on the screen by a user!
Yes, the original question is simply:
"What is \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\) in simplest form?"
Let's simplify \(\sqrt{25x^3y^3}\):
\[
\sqrt{25x^3y^3} = \sqrt{25 \cdot x^2 \cdot x \cdot y^2 \cdot y} = 5xy\sqrt{xy}
\]
This perfectly matches the fourth option: \(5xy\sqrt{xy}\).
