Let $x^2=4ky, k>0$ be a parabola with vertex $O(0,0)$. Let $BC$ be its latus rectum. An ellipse with center $P$ on $BC$ touches the parabola at $O$,and cuts $BC$ at points $D$ and $E$ such that $BD=DE=EC$ ($B, D, E, C$ in that order). The eccentricity of the ellipse is

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