Let $\lambda$ be a real number for which the system of linear equations $x + y + z = 6$,$4x + \lambda y - \lambda z = \lambda - 2$,and $3x + 2y - 4z = -5$ has infinitely many solutions. Then $\lambda$ is a root of the quadratic equation:

  • A
    $\lambda^2 - \lambda - 6 = 0$
  • B
    $\lambda^2 - 3\lambda - 4 = 0$
  • C
    $\lambda^2 + 3\lambda - 4 = 0$
  • D
    $\lambda^2 + \lambda - 6 = 0$
