As we learnt in

Atomicity or adiabatic coefficient (gamma) -

\gamma =\frac{ C_{p}}{ C_{v}}

=1+\frac{2}{f}

 

- wherein

for Monoatomic gas     \gamma= \frac{5}{3}

for Diatomic gas         \gamma= \frac{7}{5}

for Triatomic gas        \gamma= \frac{4}{3}

 

 f = 5 

\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma=1+\frac{2}{f}=\frac{7}{5}

Correct option is 4.
