Calculation:

Given two diameters of the circle are along the lines x + y = 0 and x - y = 0. The center of the circle is at their intersection.

We have, 

Substitute into x + y = 0:

Thus, the center is (0, 0).

Also radius,

the equation of the circle with center (0,0) and radius 5 is

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
