The plane $2x - y + z = 4$ intersects the line segment joining the points $A(a, -2, 4)$ and $B(2, b, -3)$ at the point $C$ in the ratio $2:1$. The distance of the point $C$ from the origin is $\sqrt{5}$. If $ab < 0$ and $P$ is the point $(a - b, b, 2b - a)$,then $CP^2$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{17}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{16}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{73}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{97}{3}$
