The length of the latus rectum of an ellipse is $6$ units and the distance between a focus and its nearest vertex on the major axis is $\frac{5}{3}$ units. If $e$ is the eccentricity of this ellipse,then $e$ satisfies the equation:

  • A
    $25 e^2-40 e+16=0$
  • B
    $25 e^2+40 e-16=0$
  • C
    $25 e^2-40 e-16=0$
  • D
    $25 e^2+40 e-32=0$
