In $\mathbb{R}^3$,let $L$ be a straight line passing through the origin. Suppose that all the points on $L$ are at a constant distance from the two planes $P_1: x+2y-z+1=0$ and $P_2: 2x-y+z-1=0$. Let $M$ be the locus of the feet of the perpendiculars drawn from the points on $L$ to the plane $P_1$. Which of the following points lie$(s)$ on $M$?
$(A) \left(0, -\frac{5}{6}, -\frac{2}{3}\right)$
$(B) \left(-\frac{1}{6}, -\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{6}\right)$
$(C) \left(-\frac{5}{6}, 0, \frac{1}{6}\right)$
$(D) \left(-\frac{1}{3}, 0, \frac{2}{3}\right)$
