If $PQ$ is a double ordinate of the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ such that $\triangle OPQ$ is an equilateral triangle,where $O$ is the centre of the hyperbola,then the eccentricity $e$ of the hyperbola satisfies:

  • A
    $1 < e < 2/\sqrt{3}$
  • B
    $e = 2/\sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $e = \sqrt{3}/2$
  • D
    $e > 2/\sqrt{3}$
