If the tangent and normal drawn to the curve $x=a(\theta+\sin \theta), y=a(1-\cos \theta)$ at $P\left(\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ cut the $X$-axis at $A$ and $B$ respectively, then the area (in sq. units) of $\triangle P A B$ is

  • A
    $\frac{a^2}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{a^2}$
  • C
    $a^2$
  • D
    $2 a^2$
