Let $a$ and $b$ respectively be the semi-transverse and semi-conjugate axes of a hyperbola whose eccentricity satisfies the equation $9e^2 - 18e + 5 = 0$. If $S(5, 0)$ is a focus and $5x = 9$ is the corresponding directrix of this hyperbola,then $a^2 - b^2$ is equal to
- A$-7$
- B$-5$
- C$5$
- D$7$
