$A$ conic passes through the point $(2, 4)$ and is such that the segment of any of its tangents at any point contained between the coordinate axes is bisected at the point of tangency. Then the foci of the conic are:

  • A
    $(2\sqrt{2}, 0)$ and $(-2\sqrt{2}, 0)$
  • B
    $(2\sqrt{2}, 2\sqrt{2})$ and $(-2\sqrt{2}, -2\sqrt{2})$
  • C
    $(4, 4)$ and $(-4, -4)$
  • D
    $(4\sqrt{2}, 4\sqrt{2})$ and $(-4\sqrt{2}, -4\sqrt{2})$
