An ellipse is drawn by taking a diameter of the circle $(x - 1)^2 + y^2 = 1$ as its semi-minor axis and a diameter of the circle $x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4$ as its semi-major axis. If the center of the ellipse is at the origin and its axes are the coordinate axes,then the equation of the ellipse is:

  • A
    $4x^2 + y^2 = 4$
  • B
    $x^2 + 4y^2 = 8$
  • C
    $4x^2 + y^2 = 8$
  • D
    $x^2 + 4y^2 = 16$
