An ellipse is inscribed in a circle and a point within the circle is chosen at random. If the probability that this point lies outside the ellipse is $2/3 $ then the eccentricity of the ellipse is :

  • A

    $\frac{{2\sqrt 2 }}{3}$

  • B

    $\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}$

  • C

    $\frac{8}{9}$

  • D

    $\frac{2}{3}$
