Distributive property:


(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd

Multiplication of powers with the same base:


a^m\cdot a^n=a^(m+n)

For the given expression:


\begin{gathered} (x^2+3)(x^3-5)=x^2\cdot x^3+x^2\cdot(-5)+3\cdot x^3+3\cdot(-5) \\ \\ =x^(2+3)-5x^2+3x^3-15 \\ =x^5-5x^2+3x^3-15 \\ =x^5+3x^3-5x^2-15 \end{gathered}

Answer is the second option
