Let a circle $C$ of radius $1$ and closer to the origin be such that the lines passing through the point $(3,2)$ and parallel to the coordinate axes touch it. Then the shortest distance of the circle $C$ from the point $(5,5)$ is:

  • A
    $2 \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $4 \sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $4$
