Let the line $y - \sqrt{3}x + 3 = 0$ cut the parabola $2y^2 = 2x + 3$ at $A$ and $B$. If $P(\sqrt{3}, 0)$,then the value of $|PA - PB|$ is [where $PA$ denotes the distance between points $P$ and $A$].

  • A
    $\frac{6 + 4\sqrt{3}}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{76 + 48\sqrt{3}}}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{76 - 48\sqrt{3}}}{3}$
