If $A(2, 3)$ and $B(3, -2)$ are two fixed points and $P(x, y)$ is a variable point satisfying the condition $|PA - PB| = 2$,then the locus of $P$ is

  • A
    $(x + y + 1)^2 = 4[(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2]$
  • B
    $(x - 5y - 2)^2 = 4[(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2]$
  • C
    $(x - 5y - 2)^2 = 4[(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2]$
  • D
    $(x + y + 1)^2 = 4[(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2]$
