If a point $P$ moves such that the distance from $(0, 2)$ to $P$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times the distance of $P$ from $(-1, 0)$,then the locus of the point $P$ is:

  • A
    a circle with centre $(1, 4)$ and radius $10$ units
  • B
    a circle with centre $(-1, -4)$ and radius $\sqrt{10}$ units
  • C
    a circle with centre $(1, 4)$ and radius $\sqrt{10}$ units
  • D
    a parabola with focus at $(1, 4)$ and length of latus rectum $10$ units
