The straight line $x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha = p$ cuts the circle $x^2 + y^2 - a^2 = 0$ at $A$ and $B$. Then the equation of the circle having $AB$ as diameter is

  • A
    $x^2 + y^2 - a^2 + p(x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha - p) = 0$
  • B
    $x^2 + y^2 - a^2 - p(x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha + p) = 0$
  • C
    $x^2 + y^2 - a^2 + 2p(x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha - p) = 0$
  • D
    $x^2 + y^2 - a^2 - 2p(x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha - p) = 0$
