$AB$ is a variable chord of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$. If $AB$ subtends a right angle at the origin $O$, then $\frac{1}{OA^2} + \frac{1}{OB^2}$ equals to

  • A
    $\frac{1}{a^2} + \frac{1}{b^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{a^2} - \frac{1}{b^2}$
  • C
    $a^2 + b^2$
  • D
    $a^2 - b^2$
