In a square matrix $A$ of order $3$,$a_{ii}$ are the sum of the roots of the equation $x^2 - (a + b)x + ab = 0$; $a_{i, i+1}$ are the product of the roots,$a_{i, i-1}$ are all unity,and the rest of the elements are all zero. The value of the determinant of $A$ is equal to

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $(a + b)^3$
  • C
    $a^3 - b^3$
  • D
    $(a^2 + ab + b^2)(a + b)$
