On a coordinate plane, a bug moves from point A to point B only along paths parallel to the axes. Initially, the bug starts at point $A = (-4, 3)$ and needs to reach point $B = (4, -3)$. The bug must avoid any path going through the line segment from $(0,1)$ to $(0, -1)$ directly. How many points with integer coordinates does the bug potentially visit if the maximum path length is 22 units?
A) 195
B) 201
C) 206
D) 227
E) 245
