Answer:the correct option is

(3x – 5)(x – 1)

Explanation:

The given quadratic equation is expressed as

3x2 – 8x + 5

The first step is to find two numbers such that their sum or difference is -8x and their product is 15x^2. The two numbers are - 3x and - 5x. Therefore,

3x2 - 3x - 5x + 5 = 0

The next step is to factorize

3x(x - 1) - 5(x - 1) = 0

x - 1 = 0 or 3x - 5 = 0

Therefore, the factorization of 3x2 – 8x + 5 is

(3x - 5)(x - 1)
