Answer:

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

The given equation is


5-2m-3m^2=0 ..... (1)

If a quadratic equation is defined as


ax^2+bx+c=0 ...... (2)

then product of roots is c/a.

From (1) and (2), we get


a=-3,b=-2,c=5

So, the product of the roots of given equation is


\text{Product of roots}=(c)/(a)


\text{Product of roots}=(5)/(-3)


\text{Product of roots}=-(5)/(3)

Therefore the correct option is A.
