The locus of a point which divides the line segment joining the focus and any point on the parabola $y^2 = 12x$ in the ratio $m:n$ $(m+n \neq 0)$ is a parabola. Then the length of the latus rectum of that parabola is

  • A
    $\frac{m}{m+n}$
  • B
    $\frac{12m}{m+n}$
  • C
    $\frac{m}{12(m+n)}$
  • D
