If a continuous random variable $X$ has probability density function $f(x)$ given by $f(x) = \begin{cases} ax, & 0 \le x < 1 \\ a, & 1 \le x < 2 \\ 3a - ax, & 2 \le x \le 3 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$,then $a$ has the value:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $1$
