$A$ man standing at a point $P$ (or $L$ in the diagram) is watching the top of a tower $N$,which makes an angle of elevation of $30^{\circ}$ with the man's eye. The man walks some distance towards the tower to point $Q$ to watch its top and the angle of elevation becomes $60^{\circ}$. What is the distance (in units) between the base of the tower $M$ and the point $P$ (or $L$)?
- A$4 \sqrt{3}$
- B$8$
- C$12$
- DData inadequate
