The area bounded by the curver r = 4sin theta and r = 3 - 2sin theta is:

• 5pi - (15sqrt(3))/2 a

b pi - (15sqrt(3))/2

C - 3pi - (15sqrt(3))/2

d - 4pi + (15sqrt(3))/2

To determine the area bounded by the curves \( r = 4 \sin \theta \) and \( r = 3 - 2 \sin \theta \), we need to find the points of intersection and set up the appropriate integral.

### Finding Points of Intersection
Set the equations equal to each other:
\[ 4 \sin \theta = 3 - 2 \sin \theta \]
\[ 6 \sin \theta = 3 \]
\[ \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2} \]

The solutions to \( \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2} \) are:
\[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} \quad \text{and} \quad \theta = \frac{5\pi}{6} \]

### Setting Up the Integral
The area bounded by two polar curves \( r_1(\theta) \) and \( r_2(\theta) \) is given by:
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \int_{\alpha}^{\beta} \left( r_2^2 - r_1^2 \right) d\theta \]

For \( \theta \) ranging from \( \frac{\pi}{6} \) to \( \frac{5\pi}{6} \):
\[ r_1 = 4 \sin \theta \]
\[ r_2 = 3 - 2 \sin \theta \]

The area \( A \) is:
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} \left( (3 - 2 \sin \theta)^2 - (4 \sin \theta)^2 \right) d\theta \]

### Simplifying the Integral
Expanding the expressions:
\[ (3 - 2 \sin \theta)^2 = 9 - 12 \sin \theta + 4 \sin^2 \theta \]
\[ (4 \sin \theta)^2 = 16 \sin^2 \theta \]

Thus,
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} \left( 9 - 12 \sin \theta + 4 \sin^2 \theta - 16 \sin^2 \theta \right) d\theta \]
\[ = \frac{1}{2} \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} \left( 9 - 12 \sin \theta - 12 \sin^2 \theta \right) d\theta \]

### Integrating
Separate the integral:
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \left( \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} 9 \, d\theta - \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} 12 \sin \theta \, d\theta - \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} 12 \sin^2 \theta \, d\theta \right) \]

Evaluate each term:
1. \( \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} 9 \, d\theta = 9 \left( \frac{5\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{6} \right) = 9 \cdot \frac{4\pi}{6} = 6\pi \)
2. \( \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} 12 \sin \theta \, d\theta \):
   \[ \int 12 \sin \theta \, d\theta = -12 \cos \theta \Big|_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} = -12 \left( \cos \frac{5\pi}{6} - \cos \frac{\pi}{6} \right) = -12 \left( -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) = 12\sqrt{3} \]

3. \( \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} 12 \sin^2 \theta \, d\theta \):
   Use the identity \( \sin^2 \theta = \frac{1 - \cos 2\theta}{2} \):
   \[ \int 12 \sin^2 \theta \, d\theta = 12 \int \frac{1 - \cos 2\theta}{2} \, d\theta = 6 \left( \theta - \frac{1}{2} \sin 2\theta \right) \Big|_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5\pi}{6}} \]
   Evaluate:
   \[ 6 \left( \frac{5\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{6} - \frac{1}{2} \left( \sin \frac{5\pi}{3} - \sin \frac{\pi}{3} \right) \right) = 6 \left( \frac{2\pi}{3} - 0 \right) = 4\pi \]

Putting it all together:
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \left( 6\pi - 12\sqrt{3} - 4\pi \right) = \frac{1}{2} \left( 2\pi - 12\sqrt{3} \right) = \pi - 6\sqrt{3} \]

Comparing with the given options:
The closest match is:
\[ \boxed{b \, \pi - \left(\frac{15\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)} \]
