To find the area of the rectangle given the expressions \(3x^3\) and \(-4x^3 + 5\), we need to multiply these two expressions together:

\[
\text{Area} = (3x^3)(-4x^3 + 5)
\]

Now, we will distribute \(3x^3\) to both terms in the second expression:

\[
\text{Area} = 3x^3 \cdot (-4x^3) + 3x^3 \cdot 5
\]

Calculating each part:

1. \(3x^3 \cdot (-4x^3) = -12x^{3 + 3} = -12x^6\)
2. \(3x^3 \cdot 5 = 15x^3\)

Now combine these results:

\[
\text{Area} = -12x^6 + 15x^3
\]

Thus, the area of the rectangle is:

\[
-12x^6 + 15x^3
\]

From the options provided, the correct response is:

**−12x^6 + 15x^3**.
