If the sum of the squares of the distances of the point (x, y) from the points (a, 0) and (-a,0) is `2b^(2)`, then which one of the following is correct ?

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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