The locus of points of intersection of the tangents to `x^(2)+y^(2)=a^(2)` at the extremeties of a chord of circle `x^(2)+y^(2)=a^(2)` which touches the circle `x^(2)+y^(2)-2ax=0` is/are :

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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