Let $A(4, -4)$ and $B(9, 6)$ be points on the parabola $y^2 = 4x$. Let $C$ be a point chosen on the arc $AOB$ of the parabola,where $O$ is the origin,such that the area of $\Delta ACB$ is maximum. Then,the area (in sq. units) of $\Delta ACB$ is

  • A
    $31\frac{3}{4}$
  • B
    $32$
  • C
    $30\frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $31\frac{1}{4}$
