For a real variable $a > 1$,consider the points $A_k = (k a, a^k)$,$k = 1, 2, \ldots, n$ in the Cartesian plane. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ represent respectively the arithmetic mean of $x$-coordinates and the geometric mean of $y$-coordinates of $A_k$,then the locus of the point $P(\alpha, \beta)$ is

  • A
    $n y = \left(\frac{2 x}{n}\right)^{n^2+1}$
  • B
    $y^2 = \left(\frac{2 x}{n+1}\right)^{n+1}$
  • C
    $y = \left(\frac{x^2}{n+1}\right)^n$
  • D
    $y = (n+1)(x - (n+1))$
