The tangent at an extremity (in the first quadrant) of the latus rectum of the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{y^2}{5} = 1$ meets the $x$-axis and $y$-axis at $A$ and $B$ respectively. Then $(OA)^2 - (OB)^2$,where $O$ is the origin,equals

  • A
    $-\frac{20}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{16}{9}$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $-\frac{4}{3}$
