Sure, let's carefully simplify the given expression and determine which option is correct.

We start with the given expression [tex]\(\left(x^2\right)^7\left(y^3\right)^5\)[/tex].

1. Simplify the first part: [tex]\(\left(x^2\right)^7\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \left(x^2\right)^7 = x^{2 \cdot 7} = x^{14} \][/tex]
Here, we use the rule of exponents that states [tex]\((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\)[/tex].

2. Simplify the second part: [tex]\(\left(y^3\right)^5\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \left(y^3\right)^5 = y^{3 \cdot 5} = y^{15} \][/tex]
Similarly, we use the same rule of exponents.

So, the original expression simplifies to:
[tex]\[ x^{14} \cdot y^{15} \][/tex]

Now, we look at the provided options to determine which one matches our simplified expression:

1. [tex]\(\left(x^2\right)^7\left(y^3\right)^5 = y^5 x^{14}\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{This is not correct since the exponents do not match.} \][/tex]

2. [tex]\(\left(x^2\right)^7\left(y^3\right)^5 = y^{14} x^{15}\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{This is not correct since the exponents do not match.} \][/tex]

3. [tex]\(\left(x^2\right)^7\left(y^3\right)^5 = y^{15} x^{14}\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{This is correct since it matches } x^{14} \cdot y^{15}. \][/tex]

4. [tex]\(\left(x^2\right)^7\left(y^3\right)^5 = y^{15} x^4\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{This is not correct since the exponents do not match.} \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{3} \][/tex]
