The locus of the midpoint of the chord of contact of tangents drawn from a point on the line $4x - 5y = 20$ to the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 9$ is:

  • A
    $20(x^2 + y^2) - 36x + 45y = 0$
  • B
    $20(x^2 + y^2) + 36x - 45y = 0$
  • C
    $36(x^2 + y^2) - 20x + 45y = 0$
  • D
    $36(x^2 + y^2) + 20x - 45y = 0$
