Question
The \( n^{th} \) partial sum of the series \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n \) is given by \( S_n = \frac{n-4}{n+5} \).

Select the correct rule for \( a_n \), or the actual \( n^{th} \) term.

**Hint**: \( a_n = S_n - S_{n-1} \)

- **Option a:**
  \[
  a_n = \frac{9}{(n+5)(n+3)}
  \]

- **Option b:**
  \[
  a_n = \frac{9}{(n+5)(n+4)}
  \]

- **Option c:**
  \[
  a_n = \frac{-5}{(n+3)(n+2)}
  \]

- **Option d:**
  \[
  a_n = \frac{2n^2 + 9}{(n+5)(n+4)}
  \]
