People living on Mars,instead of the usual definition of derivative $D f(x)$,define a new kind of derivative,$D^*f(x)$ by the formula $D^*f(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f^2(x + h) - f^2(x)}{h}$ where $f^2(x)$ means $[f(x)]^2$. If $f(x) = x \ln x$,then the value of $\left. D^*f(x) \right|_{x = e}$ is:

  • A
    $e$
  • B
    $2e$
  • C
    $4e$
  • D
    None of these
