This is the correct form. 'Time' should be singular when referring to a specific instance.

"5th time"

This phrase is used to indicate a specific occurrence or repetition of an event, with 'time' being singular to denote a single instance.

Examples:

  • This is my 5th time visiting this museum.
  • It's her 5th time participating in the competition.

Alternatives:

This is incorrect. 'Times' should not be used in this context as 'time' should be singular.
