The potential energy of a particle varies with distance $x$ from a fixed origin as $U = \frac{A \sqrt{x}}{x^2 + B}$,where $A$ and $B$ are dimensional constants. Then,the dimensional formula for $AB$ is:

  • A
    $[ML^{11/2} T^{-2}]$
  • B
    $[ML^{7/2} T^{-2}]$
  • C
    $[M^2 L^{9/2} T^{-2}]$
  • D
    $[ML^{13/2} T^{-3}]$
