Let the point $L$ lying in the first quadrant be one end of a latus rectum of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be the points where the normal drawn at $L$ to this given ellipse meets the major axis and the minor axis. Then the distance between $P$ and $Q$ is

  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$
