1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $\left(w^{-3}\right)^{-5}$.
2. **Recall the power of a power rule:** When raising a power to another power, multiply the exponents:
$$\left(a^m\right)^n = a^{m \times n}$$
3. **Apply the rule:**
$$\left(w^{-3}\right)^{-5} = w^{-3 \times -5}$$
4. **Multiply the exponents:**
$$-3 \times -5 = 15$$
5. **Simplify the expression:**
$$w^{15}$$
6. **Final answer:** The simplified form is $w^{15}$, which corresponds to option A.
