Let $C$ be the circle $x^2+y^2=1$ in the $XY$-plane. For each $t \geq 0$,let $L_t$ be the line passing through $(0,1)$ and $(t, 0)$. Note that $L_t$ intersects $C$ in two points,one of which is $(0,1)$. Let $Q_t$ be the other point. As $t$ varies between $1$ and $1+\sqrt{2}$,the collection of points $Q_t$ sweeps out an arc on $C$. The angle subtended by this arc at $(0,0)$ is

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3\pi}{8}$
