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

  • A
    $2ax - 2by - ({a^2} + {b^2} + 4) = 0$
  • B
    $2ax + 2by - ({a^2} + {b^2} + 4) = 0$
  • C
    $2ax - 2by + ({a^2} + {b^2} + 4) = 0$
  • D
    $2ax + 2by + ({a^2} + {b^2} + 4) = 0$
