Let $A(\theta_1)$ and $B(\theta_2)$ be two points on the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ and $S$ be the focus of the hyperbola. If $A, S, B$ are collinear and $a \cos \left(\frac{\theta_1+\theta_2}{2}\right)=k \cos \left(\frac{\theta_1-\theta_2}{2}\right)$ then $k=$

  • A
    $a^2+b^2$
  • B
    $\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$
  • C
    $a^2-b^2$
  • D
    $a+b$
