Two concentric circles are such that the smaller divides the larger into two regions of equal area. If the radius of the smaller circle is $2$,then the length of the tangent from any point $P$ on the larger circle to the smaller circle is:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $\text{None of these}$
