An ellipse has its major axis along the $y$-axis and its minor axis along the $x$-axis. If the length of its latus rectum is $\frac{2}{3}$ times the length of its minor axis,then the eccentricity of the ellipse is:

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