• "Sum" refers to addition ($5+p$), not $5p$.
• When a number and variable are written together ($5p$), it represents multiplication, which is called a product.
• "Quotient" refers to division ($\frac{5}{p}$), not $5p$.
• "Difference" refers to subtraction ($5-p$), not $5p$.

Answer:

the product of 5 and a number $p$
