Consider the line $L: 5y + (2k-4)x - 10k = 0$ on the coordinate plane (where $k$ is a real number), and the rectangle $OABC$ with vertices at $O(0,0)$, $A(10,0)$, $B(10,6)$, $C(0,6)$. Let $L$ intersect the line $OC$ and the line $AB$ at points $D$ and $E$ respectively. Select the correct options.
(1) When $k = 4$, the line $L$ passes through point $A$
(2) If the line $L$ passes through point $C$, then the slope of $L$ is $-\frac{5}{2}$
(3) If point $D$ is on the line segment $\overline{OC}$, then $0 \leq k \leq 3$
(4) If $k = \frac{1}{2}$, then the line segment $\overline{DE}$ is inside the rectangle $OABC$ (including the boundary)
(5) If the line segment $\overline{DE}$ is inside the rectangle $OABC$ (including the boundary), then the slope of $L$ could be $\frac{3}{10}$

Emre marks a point on the x-axis of the Cartesian coordinate plane in a mathematics class activity. Then, by decreasing the x-coordinate of this marked point by 1 unit and increasing the y-coordinate by 3 units, he obtains a second point, and when he applies the same operation to the second point, he obtains a third point on the y-axis.
What is the sum of the coordinates of the fourth point that Emre will obtain by applying the same operation to the third point?
A) 4
B) 5
C) 6
D) 7
E) 8
