Let $\theta$ be the acute angle between the tangents to the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{1}=1$ and the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=3$ at their point of intersection in the first quadrant. Then $\tan \theta$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{3}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • D
