A variable straight line passes through a fixed point $(a, b)$ intersecting the co-ordinates axes at $A\,\, \&\,\, B$. If $'O'$ is the origin then the locus of the centroid of the triangle $OAB$ is :

  • A

    $bx + ay - 3xy = 0$

  • B

    $bx + ay - 2xy = 0$

  • C

    $ax + by - 3xy = 0$

  • D

    none
