(A) $a = 0$

(B) $b = 0$

(C) $a = 1$

(D) $c = 1$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

If A is a square matrix such that $A^2 = A$ and I is the identity matrix of same order as A, then the value of $(A-2I)^2 - (2A + I)^2 + 11A$ is:

If $\begin{bmatrix} x - 2 & 3 & -2 \\ y & 0 & -4 \\ 2 & z & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is a skew symmetric matrix, then the value of $x + y + z$ is
