Let $a = \min \{x^{2} + 2x + 3 : x \in R\}$ and $b = \lim_{\theta \rightarrow 0} \frac{1 - \cos \theta}{\theta^{2}}$. Then $\sum_{r=0}^{n} a^{r} b^{n-r}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{2^{n+1}-1}{3 \cdot 2^{n}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2^{n+1}+1}{3 \cdot 2^{n}}$
  • C
    $\frac{4^{n+1}-1}{3 \cdot 2^{n}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}(2^{n}-1)$
