The sum of the terms of an infinitely decreasing geometric progression is equal to the greatest value of the function $f(x) = x^3 + 3x - 9$ on the interval $[-2, 3]$. If the difference between the first and the second term of the progression is equal to $f'(0)$,then the common ratio of the $G.P.$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{4}$
