Let \(a, b\) and \(c\) be the sides of a scalane triangle. If \(\lambda\) is a real number such that the roots of the equation \(x^2+2(a+b+c) x+3 \lambda(a b+b c+c a)=0\) are real, then the interval in which \(\lambda\) lies is

  1. A \(\left(-\infty, \frac{4}{3}\right)\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{5}{3}, \infty\right)\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{5}{3}\right)\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{4}{3}, \infty\right)\)
