The contour integral $$\oint {\frac{{dz}}{{{z^2} + {a^2}}}} $$ is to be evaluated on a circle of radius 2a centred at the origin. It will have contributions only from the points
A. $$\frac{{1 + i}}{{\sqrt 2 }}a{\text{ and}} - \frac{{1 + i}}{{\sqrt 2 }}a$$
B. $$ia{\text{ and }} - ia$$
C. $$ia,\, - ia,\,\frac{{1 - i}}{{\sqrt 2 }}a{\text{ and}} - \frac{{1 - i}}{{\sqrt 2 }}a$$
D. $$\frac{{1 + i}}{{\sqrt 2 }}a,\, - \frac{{1 + i}}{{\sqrt 2 }}a,\,\frac{{1 - i}}{{\sqrt 2 }}a{\text{ and}} - \frac{{1 - i}}{{\sqrt 2 }}a$$
