Let $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ be the radii of the largest and smallest circles,respectively,which pass through the point $(-4, 1)$ and have their centres on the circumference of the circle $x^{2} + y^{2} + 2x + 4y - 4 = 0$. If $\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = a + b \sqrt{2}$,then $a + b$ is equal to:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $11$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $7$
