A = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha &\beta\\ \gamma &-\alpha \end{bmatrix}

A^2 = I

\begin{bmatrix} \alpha &\beta\\ \gamma &-\alpha \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} \alpha &\beta\\ \gamma &-\alpha \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix} \alpha^{2} +\beta \gamma&\alpha \beta-\alpha \beta\\\alpha \gamma-\alpha \gamma&\beta \gamma+\alpha^{2} \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix} \alpha^{2} +\beta \gamma&0\\0&\beta \gamma+\alpha^{2} \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}

Thus we obtained that

\alpha^{2} +\beta \gamma=1

\Rightarrow 1-\alpha^{2} -\beta \gamma=0

Option C is correct.
