Let $A$ be the set of all points $(\alpha, \beta)$ such that the area of the triangle formed by the points $(5, 6), (3, 2),$ and $(\alpha, \beta)$ is $12 \text{ square units}.$ Then the least possible length of a line segment joining the origin to a point in $A$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}$
  • B
    $\frac{16}{\sqrt{5}}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{\sqrt{5}}$
  • D
    $\frac{12}{\sqrt{5}}$
