An ellipse is drawn by taking a diameter...

An ellipse is drawn by taking a diameter of the circle `(x – 1)^2 + y^2 = 1`, as its semi-minor axis and a diameter of the circle `x^2 + (y – 2)^2 = 4` as its semi-major axis. If the centre of the ellipse is at the origin and its axes are the coordinate axes, then the equation of the ellipse is:

A

`4x^(2) +y^(2)=4`

B

`x^(2)+4y^(2)= 8`

C

`4x^(2)+y^(2)= 8`

D

`x^(2) +4y^(2)= 16`
