If the equations $x = 1 + 2 \cos \theta$ and $y = 2 + \sin \theta$ for $0 \leq \theta < 2 \pi$ represent an ellipse,then the point of intersection of the normal drawn at $P(\theta = \pi/4)$ to this ellipse and its major axis is:

  • A
    $\left(\frac{8+\sqrt{2}}{2}, 2\right)$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{8-\sqrt{2}}{2}, 2\right)$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{8+\sqrt{2}}{4}, 2\right)$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{8-\sqrt{2}}{4}, 2\right)$
