The total change in altitude of the airplane can be calculated by multiplying the rate of descent (which is -5 feet per second) by the time of descent (which is 15 seconds).
So, the answer would be:
Total change in altitude = rate of descent x time of descent
= (-5 feet per second) x (15 seconds)
= -75 feet
Therefore, the answer is option C. -75.
