In the xy-plane, circle M is the graph of the equation $$(x-2{)}^2+(y-6{)}^2=9.$$ Circle P has the same center as circle M but has a radius that is twice the radius of circle M. Which equation represents circle P?

A

$(x-2{)}^2+(y-6{)}^2=18$

B

$(x-2{)}^2+(y-6{)}^2=36$

C

$(x-4{)}^2+(y-12{)}^2=9$

D

$(x-4{)}^2+(y-12{)}^2=18$
