An ellipse and a hyperbola have the same centre at the origin,the same foci,and the minor axis of the one is the same as the conjugate axis of the other. If $e_1$ and $e_2$ are their eccentricities respectively,then $e_1^{-2} + e_2^{-2}$ equals:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $4$
