Integral Approximation - Trapezium Rule

The following is Devin's approximation of an integral using the Trapezium rule: $\frac{6}{5}\cdot\left(0 + 2\cdot\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{5}+2\cdot\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^{5}+2\cdot\left(\frac{9}{5}\right)^{5}+2\cdot\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)^{5}+\left(\frac{15}{5}\right)^{5}\right).$ Which of the following integrals is Devin approximating?

\displaystyle{\int_0^{5}{4}x^{5}dx}

\displaystyle{\int_0^{3}{4}x^{5}dx}

\displaystyle{\int_0^{5}{4}x^{4}dx}

\displaystyle{\int_0^{3}{4}x^{6}dx}
