Let $f:[0,1] \rightarrow[0,1]$ be the function defined by $f(x)=\frac{x^5}{3}-x^2+\frac{5}{9} x+\frac{17}{36}$. Consider the square region $S=[0,1] \times[0,1]$. Let $G=\{(x, y) \in S: y>f(x)\}$ be called the green region and $R=\{(x, y) \in S$ : $\mathrm{y}<\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\}$ be called the red region. Let $\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{h}}=\{(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{h}) \in \mathrm{S}: \mathrm{x} \in[0,1]\}$ be the horizontal line drawn at a height $\mathrm{h} \in[0,1]$. Then which of the following statements is(are) ture?

($A$) There exists an $\mathrm{h} \in\left[\frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{3}\right]$ such that the area of the green region above the line $\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{h}}$ equals the area of the green region below the line $\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{h}}$

($B$) There exists an $\mathrm{h} \in\left[\frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{3}\right]$ such that the area of the red region above the line $\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{h}}$ equals the area of the red region below the line $\mathrm{L}_h$

($C$) There exists an $\mathrm{h} \in\left[\frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{3}\right]$ such that the area of the green region above the line $\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{h}}$ equals the area of the red region below the line $L_h$
