In a square matrix $A$ of order $3$,$a_{ii} = i + m_i$,where $i = 1, 2, 3$ and $m_i$ are the slopes (in increasing order of their absolute value) of the $3$ normals concurrent at the point $(9, -6)$ to the parabola $y^2 = 4x$. All other entries of the matrix are $1$. The value of $\det(A)$ is equal to

  • A
    $37$
  • B
    $-6$
  • C
    $-4$
  • D
    $-9$
