Emily has an infinite number of balls and empty boxes available to her. The empty boxes, each capable of holding four balls, are arranged in a row from left to right. At the first step, she places a ball in the first box of the row. At each subsequent step, she places a ball in the first box of the row that still has room for a ball and empties any previous boxes. How many balls in total are in the boxes as a result of Emily's $2017$th step? $\text{(A) }9\qquad\text{(B) }11\qquad\text{(C) }13\qquad\text{(D) }15\qquad\text{(E) }17$
