The locus of the midpoints of the chords of the circle $x^2 + y^2 = a^2$ which touch the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ is

  • A
    $(x^2 - y^2)^2 = a^2x^2 + b^2y^2$
  • B
    $(x^2 + y^2)^2 = a^2x^2 + b^2y^2$
  • C
    $(x^2 - y^2)^2 = a^2x^2 - b^2y^2$
  • D
    $(x^2 + y^2)^2 = a^2x^2 - b^2y^2$
