A rectangular fabric lining brings on its label the information that it will shrink after the first wash while maintaining, however, its shape. The following figure shows the original measurements of the lining and the size of the shrinkage (x) in length and (y) in width. The algebraic expression that represents the area of the lining after being washed is $(5-x)(3-y)$. Under these conditions, the area lost from the lining after the first wash will be expressed by (A) $2xy$ (B) $15 - 3x$ (C) $15 - 5y$ (D) $-5y - 3x$ (E) $5y + 3x - xy$
