Step 1: Understanding the problem.
We are asked to find the area of the region bounded by the curve and the lines \( x = 1 \), \( x = 5 \), and the X-axis. The area can be found using the definite integral of the function between the limits \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 5 \).
Step 2: Setting up the integral.
The area is given by the integral:
\[
\int_{1}^{5} \left( 4x^3 - 6x^2 + 4x + 1 \right) \, dx
\]
Solving this integral, we obtain the value \( 428 \, \text{sq. units} \).
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the area of the region is 428 sq. units, which makes option (A) the correct answer.
