(A)

45

(B)

55

(C)

65

(D)

75

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: A multiple of 3 means a number that comes in the table of 3.

Step 2: The first five multiples of 3 are: \(3, 6, 9, 12, 15\).

Step 3: Now, add them one by one:

\(3 + 6 = 9\)

\(9 + 9 = 18\)

\(18 + 12 = 30\)

\(30 + 15 = 45\)

Step 4: Therefore, the sum of the first five multiples of 3 is \(45\).
