If any tangent to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ makes intercepts of length $h$ and $k$ on the axes,then:

  • A
    $\frac{h^2}{a^2} + \frac{k^2}{b^2} = 1$
  • B
    $\frac{h^2}{a^2} + \frac{k^2}{b^2} = 2$
  • C
    $\frac{a^2}{h^2} + \frac{b^2}{k^2} = 1$
  • D
    $\frac{a^2}{h^2} + \frac{b^2}{k^2} = 2$
