$A$ variable line passes through a fixed point $(a, b)$ and meets the coordinate axes at $A$ and $B$. The locus of the point of intersection of lines drawn through $A$ and $B$ parallel to the coordinate axes is:

  • A
    $x/a + y/b = 2$
  • B
    $a/x + b/y = 1$
  • C
    $x/a + y/b = 1$
  • D
    $a/x + b/y = 2$
