Melissa attaches her dog's leash to a metal anchor in the grass so that the dog can roam only within a radius of 12 feet in any direction from the anchor. A map of the area accessible to the dog is shown below in the standard (x,y) coordinate plane, with the anchor at the origin and 1 coordinate unit representing 1 foot.
Which of the following is an equation of the circle shown on the map?
(A)(x - y)2 = 12
(B) (x + y)2 = 12
(C) (x + y)2 = 122
(D) x2 + y2 = 12
(E) x2 + y2 = 122
