Problem

The first term of an arithmetic series of consecutive integers is $k^2 + 1$. The sum of $2k + 1$ terms of this series may be expressed as:

$\textbf{(A)}\ k^3 + (k + 1)^3\qquad  \textbf{(B)}\ (k - 1)^3 + k^3\qquad  \textbf{(C)}\ (k + 1)^3\qquad \\ \textbf{(D)}\ (k + 1)^2\qquad  \textbf{(E)}\ (2k + 1)(k + 1)^2$
