Let $A(a, 0)$,$B(b, 2b+1)$,and $C(0, b)$,where $b \neq 0$ and $|b| \neq 1$,be points such that the area of triangle $ABC$ is $1 \, \text{sq. unit}$. Then,the sum of all possible values of $a$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{-2b}{b+1}$
  • B
    $\frac{2b}{b+1}$
  • C
    $\frac{2b^2}{b+1}$
  • D
    $\frac{-2b^2}{b+1}$
