If the line $y = x + 3$ intersects the circle $x^2 + y^2 = a^2$ at points $A$ and $B$,then the equation of the circle with $AB$ as its diameter is:

  • A
    $x^2 + y^2 + 3x - 3y - a^2 + 9 = 0$
  • B
    $x^2 + y^2 - 3x + 3y - a^2 - 9 = 0$
  • C
    $x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 3y + a^2 - 9 = 0$
  • D
    $x^2 + y^2 - 3x + 3y - a^2 + 9 = 0$
