Consider a semicircle of radius $1$ unit constructed on the diameter $AB$ and let $O$ be its centre. Let $C$ be a point on $AO$ such that $AC:CO = 2:1$. Draw $CD$ perpendicular to $AO$ with $D$ on the semicircle. Draw $OE$ perpendicular to $AD$ with $E$ on $AD$. Let $OE$ and $CD$ intersect at $H$. Then,$DH$ equals

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2}$
