Detailed Solution & Explanation

Given the function:
f(x)=x25f(x) = x^2 - 5
We evaluate the function for each of the given values:

1. **For x=3\displaystyle x = 3**:
f(3)=325=95=4f(3) = 3^2 - 5 = 9 - 5 = 4
2. **For x=4\displaystyle x = -4**:
f(4)=(4)25=165=11f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 5 = 16 - 5 = 11
3. **For x=5\displaystyle x = 5**:
f(5)=525=255=20f(5) = 5^2 - 5 = 25 - 5 = 20
4. **For x=1\displaystyle x = 1**:
f(1)=125=15=4f(1) = 1^2 - 5 = 1 - 5 = -4

The evaluated values are 4,11,20,4\displaystyle 4, 11, 20, -4.

Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
