(B) Let the first root be $\alpha$. Since the second root is the reciprocal of the first,the second root is $\frac{1}{\alpha}$. For a quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$,the product of the roots is given by $\frac{c}{a}$. Here,$a = 5$,$b = 13$,and $c = k$. Therefore,the product of the roots is $\alpha \times \frac{1}{\alpha} = \frac{k}{5}$. $1 = \frac{k}{5}$. $k = 5$.
