$P$ is a point on the segment joining the feet of two vertical poles of heights $a$ and $b$. The angles of elevation of the tops of the poles from $P$ are $45^{\circ}$ each. Then, the square of the distance between the tops of the poles is

  • A
    $\frac{a^2+b^2}{2}$
  • B
    $a^2+b^2$
  • C
    $2(a^2+b^2)$
  • D
    $4(a^2+b^2)$
