The asymptotes of the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$,with any tangent to the hyperbola form a triangle whose area is $a^2 \tan (\alpha)$. Then its eccentricity equals

  • A
    $\sec (\alpha)$
  • B
    $\operatorname{cosec}(\alpha)$
  • C
    $\sec ^2(\alpha)$
  • D
    $\operatorname{cosec}^2(\alpha)$
