Tangents are drawn to the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ at the points where it is met by the circles $x^2 + y^2 - (\lambda + 6)x + (8 - 2\lambda)y - 3 = 0$,where $\lambda$ is a variable. The locus of the point of intersection of these tangents is:

  • A
    $2x - y + 10 = 0$
  • B
    $x + 2y - 10 = 0$
  • C
    $x - 2y + 10 = 0$
  • D
    $2x + y - 10 = 0$
