I believe I counted the forward paths and the loops correctly but my answer was incorrect. I would appreciate a break down. Thanks!

**Block Diagram Transcription and Explanation**

The given block diagram represents a control system and you are required to use Mason's rule to derive the input-output equation. Here's a detailed description:

**Diagram Components:**
1. The input is denoted by \( U(s) \).
2. The output is denoted by \( Y(s) \).
3. There are several integrators in the form of blocks marked with \(\frac{1}{s}\).
4. Summing junctions are indicated by the symbol \(\Sigma\).

**Pathways:**
- The input \( U(s) \) enters through a summing junction (leftmost \(\Sigma\)).
- Multiple pathways link from the first summing junction:
  - Through a \(\frac{1}{s}\) block directly to the second summing junction (\( \Sigma \)) connected to the output \( Y(s) \).
  - Through a sequence of three \(\frac{1}{s}\) blocks in series before reaching the second summing junction.
  - Through feedback loops with gains of 2, 3, 4, and 5, returning to the input summing junction.

**Feedback and Forward Paths:**
- Feedback paths are highlighted in red with gains marked as 2, 3, 4, and 5.
- Forward paths move the signal from left to right through integrators to the output.

**Multiple Choice Options:**
- \(\dddot{y} - 2\ddot{y} + 4\dot{y} + 2y - 5 = \ddot{u} + u\)
- \(\dddot{y} - 7\ddot{y} - 4\dot{y} - 8y = \ddot{u} + u\)
- \(\dddot{y} + 2\ddot{y} + 4\dot{y} + 2y + 5 = \ddot{u} + u\)
- None of these answers
- \(\dddot{y} + 3\ddot{y} + 4\dot{y} + 2y = \ddot{u} + u\)
- \(\dddot{y} + 3\ddot{y} + 4\dot{y} - 3y = \ddot
