Let $y=x$ be the equation of a chord of the circle $C_{1}$ (in the closed half-plane $x \ge 0$) of diameter $10$ passing through the origin. Let $C_{2}$ be another circle described on the given chord as its diameter. If the equation of the chord of the circle $C_{2}$, which passes through the point $(2, 3)$ and is farthest from the center of $C_{2}$, is $x+ay+b=0$, then $a-b$ is equal to:

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    -$6$
  • C
    -$2$
  • D
    $6$
