A line \(L\) has intercepts \(a\) and \(b\) on the coordinate axes. When the axes are rotated through a given angle \(\theta\) keeping the origin fixed, this line \(L\) has the intercepts \(p\) and \(q\). Then

  1. A \(a^2+b^2=p^2+q^2\)
  2. B \(a^2+p^2=b^2+q^2\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{p^2}=\frac{1}{b^2}+\frac{1}{q^2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}=\frac{1}{p^2}+\frac{1}{q^2}\)
