A stone is projected from a point on the ground so as to hit a bird on the top of a vertical pole of height $h$ and then attain a maximum height $2 h$ above the ground. If at the instant of projection the bird flies away horizontally with a uniform speed and if the stone hits the bird while descending, then the ratio of the speed of the bird to the horizontal speed of the stone is

  • A

    $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}+1}$

  • B

    $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1}$

  • C

    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{2}$

  • D

    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}+1}$
