The locus of the mid-point of the chord of contact of tangents drawn from points lying on the straight line `4x-5y=20` to the circle `x^2+y^2=9` is : (A) `20(x^2+y^2)-36x+45y=0` (B) `20(x^2+y^2)+36x-45y=0` (C) `20(x^2+y^2)-20x+45y=0` (D) `20(x^2+y^2)+20x-45y=0`

A

`20(x^(2)+y^(2))-36y+45=0`

B

`20(x^(2)+y^(2))+36x-45y=0`

C

`36(x^(2)+y^(2))-20x+45y=0`

D

`36(x^(2)+y^(2))+20x-45y=0`
