For $p, q \in R$,consider the real-valued function $f(x) = (x - p)^2 - q$,where $x \in R$ and $q > 0$. Let $a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4$ be in an arithmetic progression with mean $p$ and a positive common difference $d$. If $|f(a_i)| = 500$ for all $i = 1, 2, 3, 4$,then the absolute difference between the roots of $f(x) = 0$ is:

  • A
    $50$
  • B
    $60$
  • C
    $70$
  • D
    $80$
