Let $M$ and $N$ be two $3 \times 3$ matrices such that $M N=N M$. Further, if $M \neq N^2$ and $M^2=N^4$, then

$(A)$ determinant of $\left( M ^2+ MN ^2\right)$ is $0$

$(B)$ there is a $3 \times 3$ non-zero matrix $U$ such that $\left( M ^2+ MN ^2\right) U$ is the zero matrix

$(C)$ determinant of $\left( M ^2+ MN ^2\right) \geq 1$

$(D)$ for a $3 \times 3$ matrix $U$, if $\left( M ^2+ MN ^2\right) U$ equals the zero matrix then $U$ is the zero matrix
