A tangent drawn from the point $(4, 0)$ to the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 8$ touches it at a point $A$ in the first quadrant. The co-ordinates of another point $B$ on the circle such that $l\, (AB) = 4$ are :

  • A

    $(2, - 2)$

  • B

    $(- 2, 2)$

  • C

    $\left( { - \,2\sqrt 2 \,\,,\,\,0} \right)$

  • D

    $(A)$ or $(B)$ both
