**Determine the Third Taylor Polynomial**

Consider the function \( f(x) = x^2 + x + 1 \) at \( a = 4 \).

Which of the following is the third Taylor polynomial of the function at \( x = a \)?

A) \( 21 + 9(x - 4) + 9(x - 4)^2 + 21(x - 4)^3 \)

B) \( 5 + 9(x - 4) + 13(x - 4)^2 \)

C) \( 21 + 9(x - 4) + (x - 4)^2 \)

D) \( 1 + 3(x - 4) + 3(x - 4)^2 + (x - 4)^3 \)
