If $A(1, 1)$,$B(-1, 1)$,and $C(-1, -1)$ are three points and a point $P(x, y)$ moves such that $PA^2 = PB^2 + PC^2$,then the equation of the locus of $P$ is:

  • A
    $x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 2y + 2 = 0$
  • B
    $x^2 + y^2 + 6x + 2y + 2 = 0$
  • C
    $x^2 + y^2 + 6x - 2y + 2 = 0$
  • D
    $x^2 + y^2 + 6x + 2y - 2 = 0$
