To declare an array of integers with 5 elements in C++, the syntax requires specifying the type of the elements, followed by the name of the array and the size of the array enclosed in square brackets. The correct declaration of an array consists of these components arranged in the proper order.

In this case, the correct option uses the syntax "int numbers[5];". Here, "int" specifies that the array will store integer values, "numbers" is the name of the array, and "[5]" indicates that the array will have a total of 5 elements. This syntax is consistent with C++ rules for declaring arrays, where the type precedes the name, and the size is specified within brackets.

The other choices fail to adhere to this syntax. For instance, the first option incorrectly places "array" before the data type "int," which is not a valid way to declare an array in C++. The second option places the size of the array directly after the type without naming the array, which is also incorrect. The fourth option successfully declares an array with 5 elements but uses "array" as the name, which doesn't demonstrate the standard approach of declaring an array with a more descriptive name like "numbers". Hence, the
