  • A
    $e = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $e = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $e = \frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $e = \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}$

An ellipse $\frac{(x-x_0)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-y_0)^2}{b^2} = 1$ with $a > b$ is tangent to both the $x$ and $y$ axes and is located in the first quadrant. Let $F_1$ and $F_2$ be the two foci of the ellipse and $O$ be the origin such that $OF_1 < OF_2$. Suppose the triangle $OF_1F_2$ is an isosceles triangle with $\angle OF_1F_2 = 120^{\circ}$. Then the eccentricity of the ellipse is:
