The ellipse $E_1: \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ is inscribed in a rectangle $R$ whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. Another ellipse $E_2$ circumscribes the rectangle $R$ and passes through the point $(0, 4)$. What is the eccentricity of the ellipse $E_2$?

  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • C
    $1/2$
  • D
    $3/4$
