Let $P(x, y)$ be a variable point on the parabola $y = 4x^2 + 1$. Let $Q(c, c)$ be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from $P$ to the line $y = x$. If $R(h, k)$ is the mid-point of $PQ$,then the locus of $R$ is:

  • A
    $(3x - y)^2 + (x - 3y) + 2 = 0$
  • B
    $2(x - 3y)^2 + (3x - y) + 2 = 0$
  • C
    $2(3x - y)^2 + (x - 3y) + 2 = 0$
  • D
    $(3x - y)^2 + 2(x - 3y) + 2 = 0$
