For $0 < c < b < a$,let $(a+b-2c)x^2 + (b+c-2a)x + (c+a-2b) = 0$ and $\alpha \neq 1$ be one of its roots. Then,among the two statements:
$(I)$ If $\alpha \in (-1, 0)$,then $b$ cannot be the geometric mean of $a$ and $c$.
$(II)$ If $\alpha \in (0, 1)$,then $b$ may be the geometric mean of $a$ and $c$.

  • A
    Both $(I)$ and $(II)$ are true
  • B
    Neither $(I)$ nor $(II)$ is true
  • C
    Only $(II)$ is true
  • D
    Only $(I)$ is true
