Let $\alpha, \beta$ be the roots of the equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$,where $a, b, c$ are real. If $s_n = \alpha^n + \beta^n$ and $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}3 & 1+s_1 & 1+s_2 \\ 1+s_1 & 1+s_2 & 1+s_3 \\ 1+s_2 & 1+s_3 & 1+s_4\end{array}\right| = k \frac{(a+b+c)^2}{a^4}$,then $k =$

  • A
    $b^2-4ac$
  • B
    $b^2+4ac$
  • C
    $b^2+2ac$
  • D
    $4ac-b^2$
