Let ⟨un⟩\langle u_n \rangle and ⟨vn⟩\langle v_n \rangle be two sequences and for any positive integer nn, un+1=un−vnu_{n+1} = u_n - v_n and vn+1=un+vnv_{n+1} = u_n + v_n. If u2024=21012u_{2024} = 2^{1012} and v2024=21013v_{2024} = 2^{1013}, then (v1+2u1)(v_1 + 2u_1) is equal to. (A) 1 (B) 3 (C) 5 (D) 0.
