The abscissae of $A$ and $B$ are the roots of the equation $x^2 + 2ax - b^2 = 0$ and their ordinates are the roots of the equation $y^2 + 2py - q^2 = 0$. Find the equation of the circle with $AB$ as the diameter.

  • A
    $x^2 + y^2 + 2ax + 2py - b^2 - q^2 = 0$
  • B
    $x^2 + y^2 + 2ax + py - b^2 - q^2 = 0$
  • C
    $x^2 + y^2 + 2ax + 2py + b^2 + q^2 = 0$
  • D
    None of these
