Consider circle $S$ : $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ and $P(0, -1)$ on it. $A$ ray of light gets reflected from tangent to $S$ at $P$ from the point with abscissa $-3$ and becomes tangent to the circle $S.$  Equation of reflected ray is

  • A

    $3x + 4y -5 = 0$

  • B

    $-3x + 4y + 5 = 0$

  • C

    $3x -4y + 5 = 0$

  • D

    $3x -4y -5 = 0$
