If a circle passes through the point $(1, 2)$ and cuts the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = 4$ orthogonally, then the equation of the locus of its centre is

  • A

    ${x^2} + {y^2} - 3x - 8y + 1 = 0$

  • B

    ${x^2} + {y^2} - 2x - 6y - 7 = 0$

  • C

    $2x + 4y - 9 = 0$

  • D

    $2x + 4y - 1 = 0$
