Question Analysis
This problem assesses the understanding of function transformations, specifically reflection and vertical translation, applied to the natural exponential function.

Key Concept Explanation
The standard form of the natural exponential function is . Reflecting the function over the x-axis changes the sign of the function, resulting in . Shifting the function down by 5 units subtracts 5 to the function, resulting in .
