Let $A \left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{a}}, \sqrt{a}\right)$ with $a > 0$ be a fixed point in the $xy$-plane. The image of $A$ in the $y$-axis is $B$,and the image of $B$ in the $x$-axis is $C$. If $D(3 \cos \theta, a \sin \theta)$ is a point in the fourth quadrant such that the maximum area of $\triangle ACD$ is $12$ square units,then $a$ is equal to:

  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $6$
