The lagrangian of a particle of mass m moving in one dimension is $$L = \exp \left[ {\left( {\alpha t} \right)\frac{{M{{\dot x}^2}}}{2} - k{x^2}} \right]$$ where, $$\alpha $$ and k are positive constants. The equation of motion of the particle is
A. $$\ddot x + \alpha \dot x = 0$$
B. $$\ddot x + \frac{k}{m}x = 0$$
C. $$\ddot x - \alpha \dot x + \frac{k}{m}x = 0$$
D. $$\ddot x + \alpha \dot x + \frac{k}{m}x = 0$$
