A tangent $P T$ is drawn to the circle $x^2+y^2=4$ at the point $P(\sqrt{3}, 1)$. A straight line $L$, perpendicular to $P T$ is a tangent to the circle $(x-3)^2+y^2=1$.

$1.$ A common tangent of the two circles is

$(A)$ $x=4$ $(B)$ $y=2$ $(C)$ $x+\sqrt{3} y=4$ $(D)$ $x+2 \sqrt{2} y=6$

$2.$ A possible equation of $L$ is

$(A)$ $x-\sqrt{3} y=1$ $(B)$ $x+\sqrt{3} y=1$ $(C)$ $x-\sqrt{3} y=-1$ $(D)$ $x+\sqrt{3} y=5$

Give the answer question $1$ and $2.$
