An ellipse is drawn such that the diameter of the circle $(x - 1)^2 + y^2 = 1$ is the semi-minor axis and the diameter of the circle $x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4$ is the semi-major axis. If the center of the ellipse is at the origin and its axes are the coordinate axes,find the equation of the ellipse.

  • A
    $4x^2 + y^2 = 16$
  • B
    $4x^2 + y^2 = 4$
  • C
    $x^2 + 4y^2 = 8$
  • D
