Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The synthetic division process is shown below:

\begin{array}{rrrrrr|r}
3 & 2 & 0 & -3 & 1 & 15 & \\
& & 6 & 18 & 45 & 138 & \\\cline{2-7}
& 2 & 6 & 15 & 46 & 153 & \color{red}\boxed{+ \frac{423}{x-3}} \\
\end{array}

Thus, the quotient is $2x^4+6x^3+15x^2+45x+136$ with a remainder of $\frac{423}{x-3}$. The correct answer choice is (D).
