Let $a, b, c$ be non-real numbers satisfying the equation $x^5 = 1$ and $S$ be the set of all non-invertible matrices of the form $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & a & b \\ w & 1 & c \\ w^2 & w & 1 \end{bmatrix}$,where $w = e^{\frac{i 2\pi}{5}}$. Then the number of distinct matrices in the set $S$ is:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $28$
  • C
    $24$
  • D
    $32$
