The locus of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the centre of the ellipse `(x^(2))/( a^(2)) +(y^(2))/( b^(2)) =1` to any of its tangents is

A

`(x^(2)+y^(2))^(2)=a^(2)x^(2)+b^(2)y^(2)`

B

`(x^(2)-y^(2))^(2)=a^(2)x^(2)+b^(2)y^(2)`

C

`(x^(2)+y^(2))^(2)=a^(2)x^(2)-b^(2)y^(2)`

D

`(x^(2)-y^(2))^(2)=a^(2)x^(2)-b^(2)y^(2)`
