In the rectangular coordinate plane, points $A(2, 7)$ and $B(-1, 4)$ are translated 3 units in the positive direction along the x-axis to obtain points $D$ and $C$ respectively.
Accordingly, what is the area of the quadrilateral with vertices at points A, B, C, and D in square units?\\
A) 9\\
B) 10\\
C) 11\\
D) 12\\
E) 13
