Let $E_{1}: \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1, a > b$. Let $E_{2}$ be another ellipse such that it touches the end points of the major axis of $E_{1}$ and the foci of $E_{2}$ are the end points of the minor axis of $E_{1}$. If $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ have the same eccentricity $e$,then the value of $e$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{-1+\sqrt{6}}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{-1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{-1+\sqrt{8}}{2}$
