Let the equation of the circle,which touches the $x$-axis at the point $(a, 0), a > 0$ and cuts off an intercept of length $b$ on the $y$-axis,be $x^2 + y^2 - \alpha x + \beta y + \gamma = 0$. If the circle lies below the $x$-axis,then the ordered pair $(2a, b^2)$ is equal to:

  • A
    $(\alpha, \beta^2 + 4\gamma)$
  • B
    $(\gamma, \beta^2 - 4\alpha)$
  • C
    $(\gamma, \beta^2 + 4\alpha)$
  • D
    $(\alpha, \beta^2 - 4\gamma)$
