Let $f$ be a strictly decreasing function defined on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $f(x) > 0, \forall x \in \mathbb{R}$. Let $\frac{x^2}{f(a^2+5a+3)} + \frac{y^2}{f(a+15)} = 1$ be an ellipse with the major axis along the $y$-axis. The value of $a$ can lie in the interval$(s)$:

  • A
    $(-\infty, -6)$
  • B
    $(-6, 2)$
  • C
    $(2, \infty)$
  • D
    $(-\infty, -6) \cup (2, \infty)$
