If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the eccentric angles of the extremities of a focal chord of an ellipse,then the eccentricity of the ellipse is

  • A
    $\frac{\cos \alpha + \cos \beta}{\cos (\alpha - \beta)}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sin \alpha - \sin \beta}{\sin (\alpha - \beta)}$
  • C
    $\frac{\cos \alpha - \cos \beta}{\cos (\alpha - \beta)}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sin \alpha + \sin \beta}{\sin (\alpha + \beta)}$
