If the lines joining the foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ (where $a > b$) to an extremity of its minor axis are inclined at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to each other, then the eccentricity of the ellipse is:

  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
