Let $\frac{x^2}{f(a^2 + 7a + 3)} + \frac{y^2}{f(3a + 15)} = 1$ represent an ellipse with major axis along the y-axis, where $f$ is a strictly decreasing positive function on $R$. If the set of all possible values of $a$ is $R - [\alpha, \beta]$, then $\alpha^2 + \beta^2$ is equal to:

  • A
    $28$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $61$
  • D
    $24$
