Let the latus rectum of the parabola $y ^ { 2 } = 4 x$ be the common chord to the circles $C _ { 1 }$ and $C _ { 2 }$ each of them having radius $2 \sqrt { 5 }$. Then, the distance between the centres of the circles $C _ { 1 }$ and $C _ { 2 }$ is :\\
(1) 12\\
(2) 8\\
(3) $8 \sqrt { 5 }$\\
(4) $4 \sqrt { 5 }$
